  The SAP error message SUSR_CERT027 typically indicates an issue with user authorization checks, particularly related to the use of certificates or roles assigned to a user. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when a user tries to access a transaction or perform an action for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile or role.
  Role Assignment Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units.
  Certificate Issues: If the system is using digital certificates for authentication, there may be issues with the certificate itself, such as it being expired or not properly configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s authorizations.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure they include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or action being attempted.
