  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required authorizations.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the material creation process again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
