  The SAP error message OIJ_NOM540, which states "You are not authorized to run this report," typically indicates that the user attempting to execute a specific report does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions assigned to their user profile in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object that is necessary to execute the report.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate role assigned that includes the necessary permissions for the report.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the report.
  Transaction Code Restrictions: The transaction code associated with the report may have restrictions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to the report.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  If you identify a missing authorization object, you may need to request access from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the report again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
