This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Resource and Portfolio Management (RPM) module or similar applications where object links are involved.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that grants access to the specific item referenced by &1.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include permissions for viewing the item.
