  The SAP error message S_UNIFIED_CON_API166 indicates that there is a workbench error related to display permissions for customizing objects in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or display a customizing object (like a table, view, or configuration) for which they do not have the necessary authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to display the customizing object. This can happen if the user role does not include the necessary permissions for the specific object or transaction.
  Missing Roles: The user may not be assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the customizing transactions or objects.
  Transport Layer Issues: If the customizing object is part of a transport request that has not been released or imported correctly, it may lead to access issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for the customizing object in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to customizing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue is related to a transport request, ensure that the transport has been properly released and imported into the target system. Check the transport logs for any errors.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
