  Solution:
  To resolve the error, 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 authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for the transaction they are trying to execute.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_BEST_BSA, M_BEST_EKG, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Check System Configuration:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the transaction again to see if the error is resolved.
