  Authorization Defaults:
  
  If the error indicates that there are no authorization defaults, check if the relevant authorization objects are defined in the system for the transaction or report being accessed.
  Ensure that the authorization defaults are correctly set up in the system configuration.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
