This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or similar applications where synchronization units are used to manage system landscapes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the transaction or report does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions to access synchronization units.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:

  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_RFC (Remote Function Call)
  S_PLMI (specific to Landscape Management)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify or Create Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones that include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, log out and log back in to the SAP system to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, try to access the synchronization units again.
