  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING066 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific transport step. This typically occurs during the transport of objects between different SAP systems (e.g., from development to quality assurance or production).
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the transport does not have the required authorizations in the SAP system. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to transport management.
  Transport Request Configuration: The transport request may be configured in a way that restricts certain users from executing specific steps.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, or the user may not be assigned to the appropriate user groups.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorizations are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include transport-related authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, you may need to assign them roles that include the necessary authorizations for transport management. Common roles include:
  
  SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only, not recommended for production)
  Specific roles related to transport management (e.g., SAP_CTS_ADMIN).
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP Basis team or security administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Request Settings:
  
  Ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that there are no restrictions on who can execute the transport steps.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt to execute the transport step again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
