This error is related to the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module, specifically in the context of managing synchronization units.

  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
