  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles or profiles that contain the necessary authorizations.

  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
