  The SAP error message HRTMC_BASIS309, which states "You have no change authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a record or data in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in systems with strict authorization controls, especially in modules related to Human Resources (HR) or Talent Management.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user does not have the appropriate authorization roles assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions within the assigned roles.
  Organizational Restrictions: The user may be restricted from making changes based on organizational policies or settings in the SAP system.

  Data Locking: The record being edited may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the user's assigned roles and authorizations. This can be done by an administrator using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
