This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a shared or common favorites list in the SAP GUI or Fiori interface, but their user role does not grant them the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the necessary authorization object to modify common favorites. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Common Favorites Restrictions: Common favorites are often managed at a higher level, and only certain users (like administrators) may have the rights to modify them.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or object related to the favorites.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for modifying common favorites.
  Authorization Object: Check the authorization object related to favorites management (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, etc.) and ensure that the user has the required permissions.
  Contact Administrator: If you do not have the necessary access to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or BASIS team to request the required permissions.
  Use Personal Favorites: If modifying common favorites is not possible, consider using personal favorites instead, which typically do not have the same restrictions.
