DT603 - Details

• The SAP error message DT603, which states "You have no change authorization for technical settings," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify technical settings in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) or when trying to change certain configurations in the SAP system without having the necessary authorizations.
  
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to make changes to the technical settings of database objects, such as tables, views, or data elements.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: If the changes are being made in a transportable environment, there may be restrictions based on the transport layer settings.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG
