• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG187 - No authorization to add participants to transport request &1 ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG187 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to add participants to a transport request. This typically occurs in the context of the Change and Transport System (CTS) in SAP, which is used to manage changes and transports across different SAP systems.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations for the user attempting to add participants to a transport request. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user do not include the necessary permissions for transport management.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow adding participants (e.g., if it is already released).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to transport management, particularly S_CTS_ADM and S_CTS_TPR.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the role includes the following authorization objects:
  
  S_CTS_ADM: Authorization for transport management.
  S_CTS_TPR: Authorization for transport requests.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status:
  
  Ensure that the transport request is in a status that allows adding participants. If it is already released, you may need to create a new transport request or modify the existing one if possible.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to add participants to the transport request again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields to understand what permissions are necessary for transport management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to transport management and authorization issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on the Change and Transport System for best practices and guidelines on managing transport requests and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG187 error and successfully add participants to the transport request.
