• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /MOC/OBJECT272 - No authorization for changed fields (CR type &1, auth. group &2) ?

  The SAP error message /MOC/OBJECT272 No authorization for changed fields (CR type &1, auth. group &2) typically indicates that a user is attempting to make changes to a change request (CR) in the SAP system, but they do not have the necessary authorizations for the fields that are being modified. This is a common issue in systems that have strict authorization checks in place, especially in environments that use Change Request Management (ChaRM) or similar processes.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations for the specific fields or objects they are trying to change. This can be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The change request is associated with an authorization group, and the user does not have the necessary permissions for that group.
  Change Request Type Restrictions: The type of change request being processed may have specific authorization requirements that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for the change request type and authorization group.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones to include the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG to adjust the roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message details, including the change request type and authorization group.
  
  
  
  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.
  Attempt to perform the action again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects that may be relevant include S_MOC_AUTH (for Change Request Management) and others related to the specific fields being modified.
  Change Request Management (ChaRM): If you are using ChaRM, ensure that the configuration is set up correctly and that users have the necessary roles for the processes they are involved in.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or fixes related to authorization issues in your specific version of SAP.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message.
