  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the specific transaction or data.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow read access.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the necessary profiles may not be assigned.

  Solution:
  To resolve the S_UNIFIED_CON124 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization log to see which specific authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:

  If roles are missing, you may need to create or modify roles to include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles to include the missing authorization objects. This may involve adding specific values or activities to the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details from the SU53 report to assist in troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved. They should attempt to access the transaction or data again.
