• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RX070 - You do not have authorization for changing these favorites ?

  The SAP error message RX070, which states "You do not have authorization for changing these favorites," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify their favorites in the SAP GUI but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This can happen for various reasons, including user role restrictions or missing authorizations in the user's profile.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to modify favorites. This is often related to the authorization objects S_USER_AUTH or S_USER_PRO which control user authorizations.

  System Configuration: The system may have specific configurations that restrict users from modifying their favorites.

  Authorization Check: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Contact Security Administrator: If you do not have the necessary access to check or modify roles, contact your SAP security administrator or basis team. They can review and adjust your authorizations as needed.
  Review Authorization Objects: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user's profile. The security team can add the necessary authorizations if they are missing.
  System Settings: If the issue persists, check with the system administrator to see if there are any specific settings or restrictions in place that prevent users from changing their favorites.
