This error is typically related to the authorization checks in the SAP system, particularly in the context of the SAP Customer Data Management (CDM) or similar modules.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations that are necessary for the specific activity.

  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the activity.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This transaction provides a detailed view of the authorization checks and can help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  Testing: After making changes, test the user’s access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
