This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the requested action for the specified number of transmissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting the action does not have the required authorization profile or roles assigned to perform the specific transmission.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for the transmission process.
