  The SAP error message RDM_OPT_COMMON031 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific program or transaction within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object that is necessary to execute the program.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user does not include the required authorizations for the program.
  Transaction Code Restrictions: The transaction code associated with the program may have restrictions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the program.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  If you have access, you can also use transaction code SUIM (User Information System) to analyze user authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to include the required authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the program again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
