  The SAP error message USMD1172 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform single processing with a specific UI configuration. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) or similar applications where user roles and authorizations are critical for accessing certain functionalities.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user for the specific UI configuration mentioned in the error message. This can happen due to:
