• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DFS_CAP_COMMON084 - No authorization to change a scenario. ?

  The SAP error message DFS_CAP_COMMON084 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a scenario in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that involve scenario management, such as SAP Analytics Cloud or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP).
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that include permissions to modify scenarios.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to scenario management may not be properly configured for the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, or the user may be working in a client or environment where they do not have the required permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has been assigned roles that include the necessary authorizations for changing scenarios.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects related to scenario management. Common objects might include S_TCODE (for transaction codes) and others specific to the application being used.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify User Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create new roles that include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the scenario change again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the necessary authorizations required for their roles. Providing documentation or training can help prevent similar issues in the future.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in the specific SAP application you are using.
  User Management: Regularly review user roles and authorizations to ensure they align with business needs and compliance requirements.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
