  The SAP error message P2555 indicates that the system was unable to read a specific infotype (in this case, represented by &1) completely due to a lack of authorization. This typically occurs in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) or Personnel Administration modules, where user permissions are critical for accessing employee data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specific infotype or the data within it. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Infotype Configuration: The infotype may be configured in such a way that certain fields or records are restricted based on user roles.
  Data Protection Regulations: Certain data may be protected due to legal or organizational policies, limiting access to specific users.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions for the infotype in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the necessary permissions for accessing the infotype.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the infotype (e.g., P_ORGIN, P_PERNR) are included in the user's profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines regarding the specific infotype to understand the required authorizations and any restrictions that may apply.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and back in, then attempt to access the infotype again to verify that the issue is resolved.
