• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_GPM_APPLICATION012 - No authorization to change object '&1' ?

  The SAP error message CRM_GPM_APPLICATION012 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific object in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) applications, particularly when dealing with objects related to the Global Process Management (GPM) framework.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user attempting to perform the change operation on the specified object. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant the necessary permissions to modify the object.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the specific action or object may not be configured correctly, leading to insufficient permissions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The object itself may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user who is encountering the error. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for the specific object they are trying to change.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that govern the actions on the object in question. You can do this by checking the documentation or using transaction codes like SU21 (to view authorization objects) and SU53 (to analyze authorization failures).
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create new roles that include the required permissions. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user 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 new permissions take effect. Then, attempt the operation again to see if the error persists.
