  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user executing the batch job or trying to measure it does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the permissions needed for batch job measurement.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the batch job measurement functions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for batch job measurement.

  S_BTCH_MON (Batch Job Monitoring)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to execute and measure batch jobs.
