• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_CGPL101 - &1 &2: You do not have authorization to make changes ?

  The SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_CGPL101 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) or related modules where specific authorizations are required to modify certain data or objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user attempting to make changes does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object they are trying to modify.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on certain objects or data types that prevent changes from being made by users without specific roles or authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary permissions for the specific PLM transactions or objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
