This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Fiori applications or when working with specific modules like SAP Fashion Management.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to modify the specified object (denoted by &1 in the error message).
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object that prevent changes, even if the user has general permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific 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 or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error message and the action you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After any changes to roles or authorizations, test the action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
