  The SAP error message SCI170, which states "You are not authorized to create/change a global inspection," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action of creating or changing a global inspection in the SAP system. This can occur in various modules, particularly in Quality Management (QM).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that permit them to create or modify global inspections.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the QM module.
  Profile Restrictions: The user's profile may have restrictions that prevent them from accessing certain functionalities within the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.

  Testing: After adjustments are made, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They can then attempt to create or change the global inspection again.
  
  Related Information:
