  The SAP error message LTR2_UI_ES089 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to start the transformation rule editor in the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) tool. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access functionalities that require specific authorizations that have not been granted.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by missing authorizations in the user's role or profile. The transformation rule editor is a sensitive area in SLT, and access is restricted to ensure that only authorized personnel can make changes to transformation rules.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user who is encountering the error. You can do this by navigating to the user management area in SAP (Transaction code: SU01).

  Testing: After the roles and authorizations have been updated, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, try accessing the transformation rule editor again.
