  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons:
  
  User Assignment: The user has not been assigned to the specified system in the user management settings.
  Client-Specific Settings: The user might be assigned to a different client or system, and the current operation requires access to a specific system.
  Role/Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary roles or authorizations to access the specified system.
  Transport Issues: If the user assignments were recently transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies or missing configurations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Assignment:
