  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user (trader) does not have the required authorization roles or permissions assigned to perform the selected transaction type.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction type.
  Transaction Type Configuration: The transaction type may not be properly configured in the system, leading to authorization checks failing.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see the authorization check failure details. This will help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).

  Review Transaction Type Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the transaction type in the relevant customizing settings (e.g., in SPRO). Ensure that it is set up correctly and that the authorization checks are properly defined.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
