  The SAP error message PPEENG174 "No authorization to read &1 &2" typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a resource (like a table, transaction, or object) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. The placeholders &1 and &2 usually represent the specific object type and object name that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to access the specified object.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object that limit access based on certain criteria (e.g., company code, plant, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to execute.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
