  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_DIS045 Change authorization for object &1/&2 exists typically indicates that there is a restriction on the user's authorization to change a specific object in the system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Project Management or Project System modules, where certain objects (like projects, WBS elements, etc.) have specific authorization checks.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to make changes to an object (e.g., a project or WBS element) for which they do not have the necessary change authorization. The placeholders &1 and &2 in the error message represent the specific object type and the object ID, respectively.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to change the object in question.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the specific object type.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_PROJECT, S_WBS, or any other relevant objects that control access to the specific project or WBS element.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
