SCMG_CASE018
- You are not authorized to change the case component ?The SAP error message SCMG_CASE018, which states "You are not authorized to change the case component," typically indicates that the user attempting to make changes to a case component in the SAP system does not have the necessary authorization or permissions to perform that action.

- Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or object authorizations related to case management.
