• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCI180 - You are not authorized to create/change a global set of objects ?

  The SAP error message SCI180, which states "You are not authorized to create/change a global set of objects," typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify global objects (like global classes, interfaces, or other repository objects) in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to create or change global objects in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific actions they are trying to perform.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: If the user is trying to make changes in a transport layer that has restrictions, this could also lead to authorization issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles using transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include the necessary authorizations for creating or changing global objects.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_DEVELOP: Development authorization
  S_PROGRAM: Authorization for program execution
  S_OBJECT: Authorization for object management
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP Basis or Security team. Provide them with the details of the error and the actions you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Layer Settings:
  
  If applicable, ensure that the transport layer settings allow for the creation or modification of global objects. This may involve checking the transport routes and configurations.
