  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for TMS.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity codes (like 03 for display) for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the results from SU53 for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
