• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EASYDMS006 - No authorization to change user-independent layouts ?

  The SAP error message EASYDMS006 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change user-independent layouts in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP applications that utilize layout management, such as SAP DMS (Document Management System) or other reporting tools.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions to modify layouts that are not specific to their user account, which are often referred to as "user-independent layouts."
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's authorization profile to ensure that they have the necessary permissions to change layouts. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the necessary permissions. Look for roles that include the following authorization objects:
  
  S_USER_AUTH: Authorization for user management.
  S_TCODE: Authorization for transaction codes, which may include layout management transactions.
  S_DOKU_AUTH: Authorization for document management, if applicable.
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the existing roles do not provide the necessary permissions, you may need to modify the authorization objects within the roles to include the required permissions for layout changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or system administrator. They can help assess the situation and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists when attempting to change the layout.
