The message suggests referring to a specific SAP Note (indicated by &1) for more detailed information regarding the issue.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the S_AUT133 error is that the user lacks the required authorization object or the necessary permissions to execute a particular transaction or access specific data within the SAP system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user.
  Changes in authorization profiles or roles that have not been updated for the user.
  Specific restrictions set in the authorization objects that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the S_AUT133 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the SAP Note: Refer to the specific SAP Note mentioned in the error message. This note may provide insights into the specific authorization objects or roles that are relevant to the error.
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Analyze Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This transaction will show you which authorization object failed and why.
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to adjust the user’s roles or request additional permissions from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and add the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned and that any changes are transported to the relevant systems if applicable.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. It may also be helpful to test the specific transaction that caused the error.
