  The SAP error message SSP_GENERAL019 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure security and compliance.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object that is necessary for the action they are trying to perform.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the required authorizations for the action.
