  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user profile of the affected user.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for transport management.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign them roles that include the required authorizations. Common roles that may be needed include:
