  Adjust Roles:

  Use the Correct User Context:
  
  If the action is intended for another user, ensure that the user performing the action has the necessary permissions to manage that user's data. This may involve using a different user account with the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to personalization and authorization management for any specific guidance or updates that may apply to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Testing:
