  The SAP error message /LSIERP/WLI002 You are not authorized to &1 a worklist typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action related to worklists in the SAP system. The &1 in the message will be replaced by the specific action that the user is trying to perform, such as "display," "create," or "modify."
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that grants permission to access or manipulate worklists.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for worklist management.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be configured correctly to allow access to the worklist functionality.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
