  The SAP error message /SCMTMS/RESOURCE013 No authorization to use driver &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Transportation Management (TM) when a user attempts to access or utilize a driver resource for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to access the specified driver resource. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the driver resource.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to transportation management may not include the necessary permissions for the driver in question.
  Driver Configuration: The driver may be configured in a way that restricts access based on certain criteria that the user does not meet.

  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
