  Look for roles that include permissions related to Business Rules Management or the specific functionality you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:

  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_RFC, S_TCODE, and specific objects related to BRM.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify user roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. They can help review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the user’s roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the export operation again to see if the issue is resolved.
