• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message >0799 - Insufficient BDT field group authorization to change &1 ?

  The SAP error message 0799 ("Insufficient BDT field group authorization to change &1") typically occurs when a user attempts to change a field in a Business Data Toolset (BDT) application but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is related to the authorization checks that SAP performs to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions to modify specific fields in the BDT.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization for the specific field group that they are trying to change. This can happen if the user's role does not include the necessary permissions for the BDT field group.
  Field Group Configuration: The field group may be configured in such a way that it restricts access to certain users or roles.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the BDT field group.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the BDT field group.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects for BDT, such as S_BDT_FG (Field Group Authorization).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
