This error is commonly encountered in SAP systems that implement the Identity Access Management (IAM) framework or similar authorization checks.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specified document type and issue type.

  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 is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the document type and issue type.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorization profiles.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify specific missing authorizations, you can add them to the user's role or create a new authorization object that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:

  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
