This typically occurs when the system is trying to access or distribute an authorization object or role that is not found in the system.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object/Role: The entry referenced by the placeholder &1 does not exist in the system. This could be due to deletion, incorrect configuration, or a transport issue.
  Transport Issues: If the role or authorization object was supposed to be transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not occur successfully, this error may arise.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the authorization management settings or in the role assignment.

  Recreate or Restore: If the entry is missing, you may need to recreate the role or authorization object. If it was deleted accidentally, check if it can be restored from a backup or transport request.
  Transport Check: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that the transport request containing the role or authorization object has been successfully imported into the target system.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary authorizations to access the role or object in question.
