• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1153 - No authorization to change partner with authorization type &1 ?

  The SAP error message R1153, which states "No authorization to change partner with authorization type &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a partner (such as a business partner, customer, or vendor) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. The "&1" in the message will be replaced with the specific authorization type that the user is missing.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object to change the partner data. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific partner type.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization object related to the partner type may have restrictions that prevent the user from making changes.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly assigned or may not include the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the partner type in question.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If you have access, review the relevant authorization objects (e.g., B_BUPA_AKT, B_BUPA_RLT, etc.) to ensure that the user has the correct authorizations for the partner type they are trying to change.
  Adjust the authorization settings as necessary to grant the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the authorization type that is missing.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
