  The SAP error message OIJ_IF_EXT002, which states "You are not authorized to perform this action," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to execute a specific transaction or action within the SAP system. This error is common in various SAP modules, including the Oil and Gas (OIJ) module.

  Testing: After changes are made, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They should then attempt to perform the action again.
