• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG222 - User &1 is not authorized to change transport requests/tasks of this type ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG222 indicates that a user is attempting to change transport requests or tasks for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems where transport management is tightly controlled to ensure that only authorized personnel can make changes to transport requests.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary authorization objects that allow them to change transport requests or tasks of the specified type. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user is not assigned to the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  The transport request is of a type that requires higher-level permissions (e.g., customizing requests, workbench requests).
  The system settings or transport layer configurations restrict access to certain users.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has roles that include the necessary authorizations for transport management.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that has the necessary permissions. Common authorization objects related to transport requests include:
  
  S_CTS_ADMI: Authorization for transport management.
  S_CTS_TSK: Authorization for transport tasks.
  S_CTS_REQ: Authorization for transport requests.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can help review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Layer Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transport layer settings do not impose additional restrictions on the user. This can be checked in transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user attempt to perform the action again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields to understand what permissions are required for transport management.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help in troubleshooting transport-related issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on transport authorizations.
