  The SAP error message OL868 indicates that a user is missing the necessary authorization for a specific object in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires certain authorizations related to the Business Object Repository (BOR) or Business Process Management (BPM) in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message OL868 is triggered when:
  
  The user does not have the required authorization object S_BOR_PRX for the specified logical system and object type.
  The authorization check fails because the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to access or manipulate the specified business object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the OL868 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for the S_BOR_PRX object.

  The S_BOR_PRX authorization object controls access to business process-related functions. Ensure that the user has the appropriate values for the fields in this authorization object.

  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the S_BOR_PRX authorization.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
