• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB083 - Authorization check -> you are not authorized to change view <&1> ?

  The SAP error message /SAPAPO/MSDP_PB083 indicates that a user is attempting to change a view in the SAP Advanced Planning and Optimization (APO) module but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  The error is typically caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to change the specified view.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  View-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the view that the user is trying to access or modify.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide details on which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for the view in question.
  If the role does not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify the missing authorization object from the SU53 output, you can add it to the relevant role in PFCG.
  Make sure to transport the changes to the production environment if you are working in a development or quality assurance system.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
