  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects that allow them to view or access global variants.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report that involves global variants.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.

  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorization objects, you can add them to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to variants include:
  
  S_PROGRAM (Authorization for program execution)
  S_TCODE (Authorization for transaction codes)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary access to the specific transaction or report that utilizes the global variant.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists.
