  The SAP error message /MOC/OBJECT572 No authorization for changed fields (activity type &1, auth. group &2) typically indicates that a user is attempting to make changes to an object or data in the SAP system for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Material Management (MM) or Project System (PS) modules, where specific authorizations are required to modify certain fields or data.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization for the specific activity type and authorization group mentioned in the error message.
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The authorization group associated with the object may have restrictions that prevent the user from making changes.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to modify the fields in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should review and modify the user's roles to include the necessary authorizations for the activity type and authorization group specified in the error message.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Review:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MRP, etc.) that govern the activity type and authorization group. Ensure that the user has the appropriate values assigned to these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or 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.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
