  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The authorization roles may be configured to restrict access to certain plants, and the user may not be included in the allowed list for the specified plant.
  Missing Roles or Profiles: The user may not have the appropriate roles or profiles that grant access to the required transactions or documents.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific plant.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to document display (e.g., S_DOCUMENT, S_TCODE, etc.) are included in the role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects that control access to documents and plants, such as S_TCODE, S_DOCUMENT, and any custom authorization objects that may be in use.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines on user roles and authorizations to understand how to properly assign access rights.
  Audit Logs: If necessary, check audit logs to see if there are any other related authorization issues that may need to be addressed.
