  Cause:
  
  Non-Existent Context: The context specified in the error message (Context &1) does not exist in the system. This could be due to a typo, or the context may have been deleted or not created yet.
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the necessary authorization to access the specified context. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations assigned to the user profile.

  Check if the context specified in the error message actually exists in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction or using the appropriate report to list contexts.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This transaction will show you which authorization objects were checked and which ones failed.

  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the required access.
