  The SAP error message UJB_EXCEPTION120 indicates that a user does not have the necessary access rights to a specific instance in the Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) environment. This error typically arises in scenarios where users are trying to access or manipulate data in BPC but lack the required authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to access the instance does not have the necessary roles or permissions assigned to them in the BPC system.
  Instance-Level Security: The instance (e.g., a specific planning model, version, or data) may have security settings that restrict access to certain users or groups.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that grants access to the required instance.
  Data Access Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on data access profiles that limit what data a user can see or modify.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned in the BPC system. This can be done by checking the user management settings in the BPC administration console.

  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks specific authorizations, you may need to assign the necessary authorizations through the BPC security configuration.
