• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG185 - No authorization to change owner of transport request &1 ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG185 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change the owner of a transport request. This typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) when a user attempts to modify the ownership of a transport request but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to change the owner of the transport request does not have the necessary authorizations. This is often due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow ownership changes (e.g., released or imported).
  System Configuration: The system may have specific configurations or restrictions in place that prevent ownership changes under certain conditions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change the owner of transport requests. The relevant authorization object is typically S_CTS_ADM or S_CTS_AUTH.
  You can check the user's roles and authorizations using transaction SU53 after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles or modify existing roles to include the required authorizations.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to make these changes.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status:
  
  Verify the status of the transport request. If it is in a status that does not allow changes (like "Released"), you may need to revert it to a modifiable state or create a new transport request.
  
  
  
  Use the Correct Transaction:
  
  Ensure that you are using the correct transaction code (e.g., SE09 or SE10) to manage transport requests.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to transport management and authorization issues for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
