This error typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify customizing settings for a specific object (denoted by &1 in the error message) but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations to perform the action on the customizing object.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that govern access to customizing transactions may not be assigned to the user.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not be correctly configured to include the necessary permissions for the specific customizing activity.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include permissions for the customizing activity.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Configuration:
  
  If the roles are assigned but still do not provide access, you may need to modify the role configuration in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects related to the customizing activity.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific customizing object to understand the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the customizing action again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
