This error is related to the authorization checks in the SAP system, particularly concerning database views.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to change or maintain the specified view. This can happen if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for the specific view or if the view is not set up as a maintenance object.
  View Configuration: The view may not be configured correctly in the system to allow maintenance. This could be due to the view not being marked as a maintenance object in the relevant configuration settings.

  Check Authorizations:

  Transport Request:
