  The SAP error message UWS_SURVEY_GUI044 indicates that a user is not authorized to display a specific questionnaire in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Survey Management or similar modules where questionnaires are used for data collection or feedback.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user trying to access the questionnaire. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that grant access to the questionnaire.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the survey or questionnaire may not be properly configured for the user.
  Questionnaire Status: The questionnaire may be in a status that restricts access (e.g., it may be inactive or not yet published).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for accessing surveys and questionnaires.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_Survey, S_Survey_Questionnaire) to ensure that the user has the required permissions.
  You can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  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 to review and adjust the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Questionnaire Status:
  
  Ensure that the questionnaire is active and published. You can check this in the Survey Management module.
  If the questionnaire is not published, you may need to publish it or change its status to allow access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
