  Solution:
  To resolve the SIAG_MSG400 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the necessary authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.

  Testing:
