This error typically occurs when a user attempts to access a transaction or function for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile to access the PMEVC.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or area of the system.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.

  Add Missing Authorizations:

  Make sure to transport any changes to the roles to the appropriate environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
