Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ED364 - You do not have authorization to change the message class &1 ?

  The SAP error message ED364, which states "You do not have authorization to change the message class &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a message class in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user does not have the required permissions to change or maintain the specified message class (indicated by &1 in the error message).
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insights into what permissions are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for changing message classes. The relevant authorization object is typically S_TCODE (for transaction codes) and S_MSG (for message class maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  The specific authorization needed may include:
  
  S_MSG: Authorization for message class maintenance.
  S_TCODE: Authorization for the transaction code used to access the message class.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to change the message class again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
