This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with Quality Management (QM) or other modules that utilize characteristics for inspection plans, material specifications, etc.

  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.

  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as Q_MAT for material-related characteristics or Q_CHAR for characteristics in quality management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the necessary access or to understand the authorization structure better.
  
  
  
  Review Characteristic Settings:
  
  Check the configuration of the characteristic in the relevant module (e.g., QM) to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no additional restrictions based on user groups or profiles.
