  The SAP error message PSS4_MSG201 indicates that a user is attempting to perform a movement or action on an object (denoted as &1) but lacks the necessary authorizations for the target object (denoted as &2). This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to perform the action on the specified object.
  Authorization Profile Issues: The user's authorization profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or object type.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or conditions set on the object that prevent the user from performing the action.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.

  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the object involved.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance purposes.
