  System Configuration: Certain actions in SAP are restricted to administrators for security reasons, and the user is trying to perform one of those actions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.

  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the actions that require administrative privileges and provide training on how to request the necessary access if needed.
