  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization objects were checked and which ones failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Testing:
