The "&1" in the message will be replaced with the specific object or action that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The most common cause of this error is that the user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to perform the action or access the object specified in the error message.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into 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 details of the error and the action you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
