  Solution:

  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization objects are missing for the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not the security administrator, consult with your SAP security team to understand the changes made and to ensure that the user has the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the changes were made in a development or quality system and transported to production, ensure that the transport was successful and that no issues occurred during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
