This can occur in various contexts, such as during data migration, system configuration, or when executing specific transactions that involve data integrity checks.
  Cause:

  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict certain operations based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles to ensure they include the necessary authorizations for foreign key checks.

  Consult with Security Team:
