This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user (&1) does not have the required authorizations to modify the allocation rules for the specified object (&2).
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object type.

  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for modifying allocation rules.
  Authorization Check: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific permission is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations.
  Authorization Object: Identify the relevant authorization object (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, etc.) that controls access to the allocation rules and ensure that the user has the necessary values assigned.
  Testing: After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
