This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to access data or reports for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the RSAN_PR051 error is a lack of authorization for the user role or profile that is currently assigned to the user. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their role.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Data Access Restrictions: The user may have restrictions on accessing certain data or applications based on their role.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAN_PR051 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles for accessing the application are included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization objects are missing.
  This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator.

  Testing:
