  The SAP error message S_LRM_UI035, which states "You do not have change authorization for the selected policy," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a policy in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This can happen in various SAP modules, particularly in areas related to governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) or other policy management functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to change the selected policy. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient authorizations assigned to the user profile.
  Policy Status: The policy may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., it might be locked or in a finalized state).
  Configuration Settings: There may be specific configuration settings in the SAP system that restrict changes to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's authorization roles in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user profile in transaction code SU01 or using transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific actions they are trying to perform on the policy.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the relevant team to request the required roles or permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Policy Status:
