  Cause:
  The error message V/418 occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or access a resource for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen due to:

  Adjust Roles and Profiles:

  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorization profiles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
