  Role Maintenance:

  Use transaction PFCG to check the role’s authorization objects and ensure that they are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to review and adjust your authorizations as needed.
