This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute these transactions without the appropriate permissions.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  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.

  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to access the AL11 and FILE transactions again.
