  The SAP error message /TMF/SECURITY001 Authorization object & not found typically indicates that the system is unable to find a specific authorization object that is required for the user to perform a certain action or access a particular transaction. This error is often related to security and authorization management within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The authorization object referenced in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a missing transport or an incomplete installation of a specific module.
  Incorrect Configuration: The authorization object may not be properly configured in the system, leading to it being unrecognized.
  User Role Issues: The user may not have the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization object.
  Transport Issues: If the authorization object was recently created or modified, it may not have been transported correctly to the system where the error is occurring.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorization Object: Verify if the authorization object exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction code SU21 to check for the object.

  Consult Documentation: If the authorization object is part of a specific SAP module or enhancement, consult the relevant SAP documentation or notes for any additional steps that may be required.
