  The SAP error message CMT012, which states "You do not have change authorization in Configuration Management," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes in the Configuration Management area of SAP but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in areas related to configuration and customization.

  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include authorization for Configuration Management.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are required.
