  Object Ownership: The object may be owned by a different user or group, and the current user does not have access rights to it.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary rights to view or interact with the object.
  Security Settings: The security settings for the object may be configured to restrict access to certain users or groups.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SERVICES_CMS082 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review Object Security Settings:

  If you have access, you can use the Central Management Console (CMC) in SAP BusinessObjects to review and modify the security settings for the object.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:

  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for managing user access in your organization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
