• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KH765 - Creating/changing fields (AUTHC) in the SAP system & is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message KH765 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to create or change fields in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user role that is currently logged in. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary authorization object that allows them to create or change fields in the SAP system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the required authorization object for the action.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow field changes.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not have the necessary permissions set up.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the KH765 error, 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 authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for creating or changing fields.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorization object is missing, you may need to modify the role to include it. This can be done by:
  
  Adding the necessary authorization objects to the role.
  Adjusting the field values in the authorization objects to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
