  The SAP error message USMD1189 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a transport operation. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to transport objects (like customizing or development objects) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for the transport request. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile.

  Transport Management Settings: The transport management settings may restrict certain users from performing transport operations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the USMD1189 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include transport-related authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:

  S_TRANSPRT: Transport Management
  S_DEVELOP: Development Authorization
  S_CTS_ADMI: Change and Transport System Administration
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the transport operation again.
