  The SAP error message PCA_SECURITY002 typically indicates a security-related issue, often related to authorization or access control within the SAP system. This error can occur when a user attempts to perform an action for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access a specific transaction, report, or function.
