  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show you which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.

  Consult with Security Team:
