  The SAP error message /UI2/FLP_SETTINGS108 indicates that a user is not authorized to change the settings in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify settings that require specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to them to change the Fiori Launchpad settings.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile.

  Consult with your SAP security team to determine the exact roles needed.
