• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG180 - No authorization to change tasks of other users ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG180 indicates that a user is attempting to change tasks that belong to other users without having the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in systems where Change and Transport System (CTS) is used to manage transport requests and tasks.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to modify or manage tasks that are not owned by them. This is a security measure to prevent unauthorized changes to transport requests and tasks.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for managing transport requests and tasks. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  S_CTS_ADM - Authorization for Change and Transport System administration.
  S_CTS_TSK - Authorization for transport tasks.
  
  
  You may need to add the ACTVT (activity) values that allow for changing tasks.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you assess and adjust the user’s authorizations accordingly.
  
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer:
  
  If the user needs to manage tasks of other users frequently, consider using the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10) with appropriate authorizations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields to understand what permissions are required for different actions within the CTS.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on the Change and Transport System for best practices and guidelines on managing authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue related to the CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG180 error message.
