  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_BO023 indicates that a user is attempting to change their own Access Control List (ACL) settings, which is not permitted. This is a security measure to prevent users from modifying their own permissions, which could lead to unauthorized access or changes within the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A user tries to modify their own permissions or access rights in the SAP system.
  The system is configured to restrict users from changing their own ACL settings to maintain security and integrity.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Role Review: Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned to them that allow them to perform the necessary actions without needing to change their own ACL.
  
  
  Admin Intervention: If changes to the ACL are necessary, an administrator or a user with the appropriate permissions should make the changes on behalf of the user. This typically involves:
  
  Logging in as an administrator or a user with higher privileges.
  Navigating to the relevant ACL settings.
  Making the necessary changes to the user's permissions.
  
  
  
  Request Process: If the user needs specific permissions, they should follow the organization's request process to have their permissions reviewed and modified by an authorized person.
