• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_DML_CUST116 - No authorization to transport object types ?

  The SAP error message COM_DML_CUST116 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to transport specific object types. This typically occurs when a user attempts to transport changes (like customizing settings or development objects) without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the necessary authorizations in their role/profile to perform transport operations for the specified object types.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: The transport layer may have restrictions that prevent certain users from transporting specific object types.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types may be restricted from being transported based on the system configuration or the transport request settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for transport activities.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for transporting the specific object types.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Layer Settings:
  
  Check the transport layer settings in transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to ensure that the user is allowed to transport the object types in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with the SAP Basis team to review the transport configuration and ensure that there are no system-wide restrictions affecting the user’s ability to transport objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the transport operation again to verify if the issue is resolved.
