  Perform Action in Sandbox: If the action is intended for testing or configuration, switch to the Sandbox system and perform the action there.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the action in the current system. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify and adjust user roles if necessary.
  Review Configuration: If you believe the action should be allowed in the current system, review the configuration settings or consult with your SAP Basis or configuration team to understand the restrictions in place.
