• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AREN124 - You do not have change authorization (S_TABU_DIS) ?

  The SAP error message AREN124 indicates that a user does not have the necessary change authorization for a specific table or transaction. The authorization object involved is S_TABU_DIS, which controls access to table maintenance and data manipulation.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action (such as changing or maintaining data) on a table for which they do not have the required authorization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to change the specified table.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Object Configuration: The configuration of the S_TABU_DIS authorization object may not be set up correctly to allow the user access to the specific table.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AREN124 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the required tables.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Object:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check result. This will show which authorization was missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction PFCG to review the roles and the associated authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the role using transaction PFCG:
  
  Add the S_TABU_DIS authorization object to the role.
  Ensure that the appropriate values for the fields (like ACTVT for activity, DICBERCLS for the table name, etc.) are set correctly.
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
