This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access a report, transaction, or data element.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization object or permission to perform the action.
  Role Assignment: The user’s assigned roles do not include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific restrictions in the authorization objects that limit access to certain data or transactions.

  Solution:
  To resolve the LVC099 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization log to see which specific authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:

  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  Add the required authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:

  Testing:
