This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data and functions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object that allows access to the configuration.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
