• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS028 - You are not authorized to change selection object &1/&2 ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS028 indicates that a user is not authorized to change a specific selection object in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP applications that involve selection objects, such as those used in planning or data management.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to modify the selection object. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the necessary roles assigned that grant permission to change the specified selection object.
  Object-Specific Authorizations: The user may have general access but lacks specific authorizations for the particular selection object identified by &1 (object type) and &2 (object name).
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for changing selection objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot change the selection object, check the specific authorization objects related to the selection object. This may involve adjusting the authorizations in the role or profile.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific selection object and its associated authorizations to ensure that all necessary permissions are granted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and back in, then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
