This error typically arises in the context of SAP Convergent Charging (SAP CC) or SAP Convergent Invoicing (SAP CI), where users are required to have specific authorizations to access or manipulate certain data.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to perform the specified activity (&1) on the Fact Set (&2). This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the required activities.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the Fact Set may not be properly configured or may restrict access based on certain criteria.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated to reflect the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the activity and Fact Set.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the authorization objects are too restrictive, consider modifying them to allow the necessary access for the user or role.
  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure that any changes comply with your organization’s security policies.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the activity again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
