• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CND_MAINT_LTD_API034 - Not authorized to edit project "&1". ?

  The SAP error message CND_MAINT_LTD_API034 indicates that a user is not authorized to edit a specific project in the system. This error typically arises in the context of project management or project system modules within SAP, where user permissions and authorizations are critical for maintaining data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to edit the specified project. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Project Status: The project may be in a status that does not allow editing (e.g., completed or locked).
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units or may not have the required roles that grant editing rights for the project.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to edit projects.
  
  
  
  Adjust User Roles:

  Project Status Review:
  
  Check the status of the project in question. If the project is locked or in a status that prevents editing, you may need to change its status or unlock it, if appropriate.
