  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_I2B036 indicates that a user is not authorized to modify all synchronization units in the context of the SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or related systems. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to modify synchronization units.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  System Configuration: There may be restrictions in place at the system level that prevent certain users from making modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. This can be done by navigating to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:

  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects that control access to synchronization units. Common authorization objects might include S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, or specific objects related to the LaMa functionality.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change user roles or if you are unsure which roles are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the necessary roles and make the appropriate changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
