  The SAP error message /PLMI/BO_RPR_PP122 Attributes may not be changed (missing authority) typically indicates that a user is attempting to modify certain attributes of a business object or a process in SAP, but they lack the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in systems with strict authorization controls, such as SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change the specified attributes of the business object.
  Configuration Settings: Certain attributes may be configured in such a way that they are locked for changes unless specific conditions are met or specific roles are assigned.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include permissions for the specific actions they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team. They can provide insights into the authorization objects and help in troubleshooting the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration:
  
  Review the configuration settings related to the business object or process to ensure that there are no restrictions preventing changes to the attributes.
  
  
  
  Object Locking:
  
  Verify if the object is locked by another user or process. If so, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked the object.
