This error typically arises in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to access functionalities related to license auditing without the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. The system checks the user's permissions against the required authorization objects for performing license auditing, and if the user does not have the necessary rights, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user who is encountering the error.

  Modify User Roles:

  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  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. They can help you assess and modify the roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
