This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Planning and Consolidation (BPC) or similar applications where user roles and authorizations are critical for accessing certain functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user attempting to access the CMI settings does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to view CMI settings.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:

  Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects related to CMI settings. Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_BPC_* (for BPC-related authorizations)

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify and assign the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
