• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IBS/RB071 - No authorization to lock &1 &2 ?

  The SAP error message /IBS/RB071 No authorization to lock &1 &2 typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action that requires specific authorization to lock a resource (like a document, record, or object) in the SAP system, but the user does not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to lock the specified resource. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Incorrect Configuration: The system may not be configured correctly to allow the user to lock the specified resource.
  Object Type: The user might be trying to lock an object type that is not permitted for their role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects.

  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
