Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Role: The internal role specified in the error message does not exist in the system. This could be due to a misconfiguration or the role not being created.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the role or the OData service.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Existence:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG and check if the internal role exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or ensure it is properly transported from another system.
