  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
