This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that are not granted to their user profile.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the functions they are trying to execute.
