• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING084 - You have no change authorization for MT shared tables ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING084 indicates that a user is attempting to make changes to a shared table (a table that is part of the data dictionary) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This typically occurs in the context of modifying or managing shared objects in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to change the metadata of shared tables. This can happen if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for data dictionary changes.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict changes to certain tables to prevent unauthorized modifications.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: If the changes are being attempted in a transport layer that does not allow modifications, this error can occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant activities, particularly for the data dictionary (e.g., S_DDIC for data dictionary objects).
  You may need to work with your SAP security team to adjust the user’s roles or add the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Use Appropriate Transactions:
  
  Ensure that the user is using the correct transaction codes for making changes. For example, transactions like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) should be used appropriately.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team. They can check the system configuration and transport settings to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing the changes.
  
  
  
  Review Change Management Policies:
  
  If your organization has strict change management policies, ensure that any changes to shared tables are approved and follow the proper procedures.
  
  
  
  Testing in Development Environment:
  
  If you are trying to make changes in a production environment, consider testing the changes in a development or quality assurance environment first.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to data dictionary changes, such as S_DDIC and S_TABU_DIS.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on managing authorizations for shared tables.
