  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/RET_MESSAGES528 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to copy a restriction to a selected group in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that allows them to copy restrictions in the APO system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions set up in the system that limit the user's ability to perform certain actions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to view the user profile.

  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  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 to request the required access.
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action again to see if the error persists.
