This error is often encountered in the context of using the SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module, particularly when trying to access or display specific objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that grant access to the specific data or objects they are trying to view.

  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the PLM module.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing. This transaction provides a detailed report of the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  Modify Roles: If the user is missing the required authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Consult with Security Team: If you are unsure about which authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide guidance on the necessary authorizations for the specific actions within the PLM module.
  Testing: After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
