  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data based on organizational units, company codes, or other criteria that the user does not meet.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up or may have been modified, leading to loss of access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the necessary authorizations for the required transactions or data are included in the roles.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Testing:
