  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to access or manipulate the specified container category.

  Check User Authorizations:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the error is resolved.
