  The SAP error message FB_RC030, which states "You are not authorized to change settings," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action or change certain settings within the SAP system. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to modify configuration settings, change user roles, or adjust system parameters.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user account does not have the required authorization objects assigned to it to perform the action.
  Role Restrictions: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or action being attempted.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to understand the specific requirements for the action you are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
