  The SAP error message R1336, "No authorization to change card master data," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or update master data related to business cards (or similar entities) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where access control is strictly enforced to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to change card master data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data object.
  Profile Restrictions: The user’s profile may have restrictions that prevent changes to certain types of master data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator). Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for changing card master data.

  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user access management in your organization. Provide them with the details of the error and request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the changes by attempting to access the card master data again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
