  The SAP error message /PMG/GE_GEN_MPE126 indicates that a user is not authorized to use a specific master policy in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Policy Management or Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) modules, where access to certain policies is restricted based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to access the specified master policy.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to view or use the master policy.
  Policy Restrictions: The master policy itself may have restrictions that limit access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done in transaction PFCG by adding the required authorization objects related to the master policy.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Policy Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the master policy to ensure that it is not restricted to certain user groups or roles. This may require access to the policy management configuration.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to master policies. Common objects may include S_TCODE (Transaction Code) and specific objects related to policy management.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on policy management and authorization concepts.
  Audit Logs: If necessary, check audit logs to see if there are any additional details regarding the access attempts and failures.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to grant the necessary access to the user.
