• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWXBE/CORE311 - Access token lacks scope for requested profile for destination '&1' ?

  The SAP error message /IWXBE/CORE311 Access token lacks scope for requested profile for destination '&1' typically indicates that the access token being used to authenticate a request does not have the necessary permissions (or "scopes") to access the specified destination. This is often encountered in scenarios involving SAP Cloud Platform (SCP) or when integrating with APIs that require OAuth 2.0 authentication.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Scopes: The access token does not include the required scopes that are necessary for accessing the specified destination.
  Configuration Issues: The destination might not be properly configured in the SAP system, or the OAuth client might not be set up correctly.
  Token Expiry: The access token may have expired, leading to a lack of valid permissions.
  User Role Issues: The user associated with the access token may not have the necessary roles assigned to access the requested resources.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Scopes:
  
  Verify the scopes that are required for the destination you are trying to access. This information can usually be found in the API documentation or the configuration of the destination.
  Ensure that the access token being generated includes these scopes.
  
  
  
  Update OAuth Client Configuration:
  
  If you are using an OAuth client, check its configuration to ensure that it is set up to request the necessary scopes.
  You may need to modify the client settings in the SAP BTP cockpit or wherever your OAuth client is configured.
  
  
  
  Regenerate Access Token:
  
  If the access token is expired, regenerate it and ensure that it includes the required scopes.
  
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user associated with the access token has the necessary roles and permissions to access the destination.
  You may need to assign additional roles or permissions in the SAP system.
  
  
  
  Test the Destination:
  
  Use the "Test" feature in the SAP Cloud Platform cockpit to verify that the destination is reachable and that the access token works as expected.
  
  
  
  Consult Logs:
