This error indicates that there is an attempt to modify a structure in a child system that is not allowed due to the restrictions imposed by the CUA setup.

  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to make changes in the central system. If necessary, consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust user roles and permissions.
  Review CUA Configuration: Check the CUA configuration settings to ensure that they are set up correctly. This may involve reviewing the CUA settings in transaction SCUA and ensuring that the child systems are properly connected and configured.
