This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the specified change number.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the change number.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the authorization objects related to change management, such as C_TPLM_CNG (Change Management) and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for change management.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include access to the relevant change numbers.
  
  
  
  Change Number Status:
  
  Verify the status of the change number. If it is in a restricted status, consult with the change management team to understand if there are any specific restrictions in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
