  The SAP error message TSGEN353 typically indicates an authorization issue when a user attempts to access a specific object or transaction in the SAP system. The message format usually includes a placeholder (&1) that specifies the object or resource that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for the specific object or transaction. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  The authorization object required for the transaction is not included in the user's roles.
  The user might be trying to access a resource that is restricted based on their user group or organizational level.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TSGEN353 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the necessary authorization objects are included in the roles. You may need to add the required authorizations if they are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify or Create Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are not present, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones that include the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorization profiles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
