Explanation

Verifying data access permissions (A) is the correct first step because "Data not found" most commonly occurs when a user lacks the rights to view or retrieve the data - the data exists, but the system won't surface it to an unauthorized user. Network connectivity (B) would typically produce a connection timeout or error, not a "data not found" message, making it a less targeted first check. Rebuilding a user's profile (C) is a disruptive, time-consuming action that should only be considered after simpler causes are ruled out. Increasing server memory (D) addresses performance and capacity issues, not missing data access. Memory tip: Think "permissions before problems" - when data exists but can't be seen, the first suspect is always authorization, not infrastructure.
