  The SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT_MOC009 indicates that you are trying to change the status of an object (such as a request, task, or incident) without being listed as one of the "People Involved" in that object. This is a common restriction in SAP systems to ensure that only authorized users can make changes to certain statuses.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:

  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check People Involved: Verify if you are listed as one of the "People Involved" in the object. You can do this by navigating to the object details and checking the relevant section.
  
  
  Request Inclusion: If you are not listed, you may need to request that the relevant person (e.g., a manager or administrator) add you to the list of people involved. This may require providing justification for why you need to change the status.
  
  
  Role and Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary roles and authorizations to change the status. If you believe you should have access, contact your SAP security administrator to review your permissions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the process or the specific object you are working with, consult the relevant SAP documentation or user guides for guidance on how to manage people involved and status changes.
