  The SAP error message /TMF/TDS050 You must have auth. to perform this action. Check your permissions indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and permissions are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to perform the action does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: There may be restrictions in the authorization objects that prevent the user from executing the desired action.
