  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific object type (indicated by &1) and object ID (indicated by &2).
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for editing the specified object type.

  Solution:

  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for editing the specific object type.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles using transaction code PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security administrator.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
