  The SAP error message SUID01001 ("Cannot set the 'Technical User' indicator") typically occurs when there is an issue with the user account settings in the SAP system. This error is often related to the configuration of user roles and authorizations.
  Causes:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to set the "Technical User" indicator may not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action.
