• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E0198 - You have no change authorization ?

  The SAP error message E0198, which states "You have no change authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a configuration or data in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This can happen in various modules, such as SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, or others, depending on the context of the action being performed.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role assigned to their user profile to perform the action they are attempting.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data they are trying to modify.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or profiles, preventing unauthorized changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the action being performed. This can be done by consulting with your SAP security team or by checking the documentation for the specific transaction.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional authorizations, they should submit a request to the SAP security team or system administrator to have the necessary roles or authorizations added to their user profile.
  Testing: After changes are made to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
