  The SAP error message KN053, which states "You have no authorization for cost component group &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform an action related to a cost component group for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in the context of controlling (CO) or financial accounting (FI).
