  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user attempting to edit the master data. This can happen due to:

  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required permissions.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may not reflect the necessary changes in authorization.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., F_SAKNR for account management, F_BKPF for document management) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to edit the specific master data.
