• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/OSET032 - You are not authorized to change object sets ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/OSET032: You are not authorized to change object sets indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to modify object sets in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or similar modules where object sets are used to group and manage related objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to perform changes on object sets. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object set they are trying to modify.
  Object Set Restrictions: The object set itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to PLM might include:
  
  S_PLMB_OM (Object Set Management)
  S_PLMB_OBJ (Object Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions to change object sets.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Object Set Configuration:
  
  If applicable, check if there are any specific configurations or settings on the object set that restrict changes. This may involve reviewing the object set's properties or settings in the PLM module.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that pertain to the actions you are trying to perform.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on authorization management and object sets in PLM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the authorization issue and take the necessary actions to resolve it.
