  The SAP error message ACMTOOL034, which states "You are not authorized to perform the requested operation on &1," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific action or access a particular object in the SAP system. The "&1" placeholder usually represents the object or resource that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to perform the operation on the specified object.

  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transaction or object.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the authorization logs to identify missing authorizations.

  Consult with your SAP security team to adjust the roles as needed.
