  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made to the user roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
