This error typically arises when a user attempts to modify a layout or configuration for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the appropriate roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to edit the page layout.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or area of the application.
  System Configuration: The system may have been configured to restrict access to certain functionalities based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management area (Transaction SU01).

  Review Authorization Objects:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for the /SCMTMS namespace.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
