  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization objects are missing. This transaction will show you the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for maintaining runtime properties.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. After making changes, assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After updating the authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action that previously resulted in the error.
