  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.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Code:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the BAPI again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
