  The SAP error message DMC_AUTH_CHECK011 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific object within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of data management or data governance processes, particularly when using tools like SAP Data Management or SAP Data Intelligence.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user attempting to perform the action. This could be due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user may not have the required roles assigned that grant permissions to modify the object.
  Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to the action being performed may not be included in the user's profile.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The object itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes, regardless of their general permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DMC_AUTH_CHECK011 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for the specific object they are trying to change.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects required for the action. This can often be found in the documentation for the specific SAP module or transaction.
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see which specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to work with your SAP security team to adjust the user's roles or create new roles that include the required permissions.
  Use transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) to create or modify roles and assign the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
