• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC291 - Authorization &1 is in SAP namespace. Creation and change not possible ?

  The SAP error message RSEC291 indicates that you are trying to create or change an authorization object that is in the SAP namespace, which is not allowed. Authorization objects in the SAP namespace are predefined by SAP and cannot be modified or created by users.
  Cause:
  
  SAP Namespace Restriction: The authorization object you are trying to create or modify is part of the SAP namespace (typically starting with "S_"). SAP restricts changes to these objects to maintain system integrity and security.
  User Permissions: You may not have the necessary permissions to create or modify authorization objects, especially those in the SAP namespace.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Custom Namespace: If you need to create a new authorization object, use a custom namespace (typically starting with "Z" or "Y"). This allows you to create and modify your own authorization objects without restrictions.
  Review Existing Objects: Instead of creating a new authorization object, check if there is an existing one that meets your requirements. You can use transaction codes like SU21 to view existing authorization objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources to understand the purpose of the authorization object you are trying to modify and see if there are alternative approaches.
  Contact SAP Support: If you believe that you need to modify an SAP authorization object for a valid reason, consider reaching out to SAP support for guidance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are used in SAP to control access to various functions and data. They define the permissions required for users to perform specific actions.
  Namespace Conventions: SAP uses specific naming conventions for its objects. Custom objects should be created in a user-defined namespace to avoid conflicts and restrictions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU21 (to manage authorization objects) and SU24 (to maintain authorization checks) for better management of authorizations in SAP.
  
  By following these guidelines, you should be able to address the RSEC291 error effectively.
