  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the required permissions for the specific action or resource.

  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned.

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
