  The SAP error message SAMC_TOOLS005 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display the AMC (Application Management Console) logging information. This error typically arises in the context of monitoring and managing applications within the SAP landscape.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to access the AMC logging. The AMC is a tool used for monitoring and managing various aspects of SAP applications, and certain roles and authorizations are required to view logs and other sensitive information.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Identify Required Authorizations:
  
  Check the documentation or SAP notes related to AMC logging to identify the specific authorization objects required for viewing logs.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, and others related to logging and monitoring.
  
  
  
  Assign Roles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  Create or modify a role that includes the necessary authorizations for AMC logging.
  Assign this role to the user experiencing the issue.
  
  
  
  Test the Authorization:
  
  After assigning the necessary roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to access the AMC logging again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Use SU53 for Authorization Check:
  
  If the user still encounters issues, you can use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles and authorizations, consult your SAP security team for assistance in granting the necessary permissions.
