  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show what authorizations were checked and which ones failed.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the object category in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
