  The SAP error message UE026 indicates that a user is attempting to access user information in the system but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically arises when a user tries to display or manage user accounts without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the UE026 error is a lack of authorization for the user role or profile that is currently assigned to the user. This can happen due to:

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
