  WF006 - You have no authorization for process &
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to start or interact with a workflow process for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. Specifically, the user lacks the required permissions to execute or manage the workflow process identified by the process ID (represented by & in the message).
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP Workflow processes are protected by authorization objects to ensure only authorized users can start, stop, or manage workflows.
  The authorization object typically involved is S_WF_WI (Workflow: Work Item) or S_WF_BPT (Workflow: Business Process Type).
  If the user does not have the required authorization for the workflow process, SAP throws the WF006 error.
