  The SAP error message RCC_COM_SERVICE500, which states "You are not authorized to run that program," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific transaction or program within the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, incorrect authorization objects, or restrictions set by the system administrators.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile.

  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
