This error typically arises in scenarios where users attempt to access documents or data for which they lack the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects required to view the documents.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Document-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the document type or object that the user is trying to access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned and activated.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
