  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are trying to execute. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.

  Configuration Changes: Recent changes in the authorization configuration or roles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This transaction will show you which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Authorization Logic:
  
  If there are custom authorization checks implemented, review the logic to ensure it is functioning as intended and that the user meets the criteria.
  Consult with your ABAP developers or security team to understand the specific checks that are in place.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Authorizations:
  
  If the user is missing necessary authorizations, you may need to add the required roles or adjust the existing roles to include the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the changes are tested in a development or quality environment before moving to production.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Check any internal documentation or guidelines regarding authorization management in your organization, as there may be specific procedures to follow.
