  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/FDPSA021 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific report in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. Each report in SAP is associated with specific authorization objects that control access.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions to execute the report.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary authorizations.
  Transaction Code Restrictions: The transaction code associated with the report may have restrictions based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error message. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the details from the SU53 transaction for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to execute the report again.
