• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1074 - Authorization group was updated successfully (see long text) ?

  The SAP error message R1074, which states "Authorization group was updated successfully (see long text)," typically indicates that an authorization group has been modified or updated in the system. This message is not necessarily an error but rather an informational message that confirms the successful update of an authorization group.
  Cause:
  The message is triggered when a user or administrator makes changes to an authorization group in the SAP system. This could involve adding or removing authorization objects, changing the group name, or modifying the permissions associated with that group.

  Review Changes: Check the changes that were made to the authorization group. Ensure that they align with your organization's security policies and requirements.
  
  
  Testing: If the changes affect user access, conduct testing to ensure that users have the appropriate permissions and that there are no unintended access issues.
  
  
  Documentation: Document the changes made to the authorization group for future reference and compliance purposes.
  
  
  Rollback if Necessary: If the changes were incorrect, you may need to revert to the previous configuration. This can typically be done through the same transaction used to make the changes.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you are unsure about the implications of the changes, consult with your SAP security team or a knowledgeable colleague.
