  The SAP error message SPOADR002 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a specific spool request. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to view or manage spool requests in the SAP system.
  Cause:

  The user does not have the necessary roles or profiles that include the required authorizations.
  The authorization objects related to spool requests are not properly configured.
  The user is trying to access a spool request that they do not own or that is restricted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SPOADR002 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
