  The SAP error message MSAM_CL028 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create measurement readings in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:

  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user does not include the necessary permissions for the transaction or function they are trying to execute.

  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
