This error is related to authorization checks that are part of SAP's security model.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.

  Activity Restriction: The specific activity (denoted by &1 in the error message) may be restricted for the user's role or profile.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:

  If the role is missing, you may need to assign the correct role to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the role exists but does not have the required authorization, you may need to modify the role in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects.
  Ensure that the role is activated after making changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the activity you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the activity again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
