  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to access the specified location (&1) and resource planning (&2).
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific location or resource planning area.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
