This error typically arises in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or similar modules where object creation is restricted based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that permits the creation of the specified object type in the specified context.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Object Type and Context: The object type (&1) and context (&2) mentioned in the error message are specific to the operation being attempted, and the user may not have the rights to create that particular object in that context.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for creating the specified object type.
  Review Authorization Objects: Check the relevant authorization objects associated with the roles. You may need to include or modify the authorization objects to grant the necessary permissions.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  Testing: After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the operation again to ensure that the user can now create the object without encountering the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to check user roles and authorizations, and PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles.
