  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specified ATP area and activity.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the ATP area.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to ATP areas and activities may not be properly configured or may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing them.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
