  The SAP error message LSOPV896 indicates that a user is not authorized to maintain customizing settings in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access transaction codes or areas that require specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile to perform customizing activities.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions for customizing.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the required authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects (e.g., S_TCODE for transaction codes, S_USER_AUTH for user authorizations).
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user’s roles. Common authorization objects for customizing include:
