  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary rights to execute specific actions. If a user tries to activate or deactivate AMC logging without the required roles or authorizations, this error message will be triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve the SAMC_TOOLS006 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for AMC logging activities.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles or modify existing roles to include the required authorizations. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  S_SMC_ADMIN (for AMC administration)
  S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the correct roles are assigned.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to activate or deactivate AMC logging again.
