  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show you which authorization object is missing.

  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. Provide them with the details of the error and any relevant information from the SU53 report.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
