• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMG_CASE053 - No authorization to change texts of text type &1 ?

  The SAP error message SCMG_CASE053 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change texts of a specific text type in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Supply Chain Management (SCM) or similar modules where text management is involved.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role or profile attempting to modify the text associated with a specific object. The text type referenced in the error message (denoted as &1) is the specific type of text that the user is trying to change, and the system checks the user's authorization against the required permissions for that text type.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check failure. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to add the required authorization objects to the user's role. This typically involves:
  
  Identifying the relevant authorization object (e.g., S_TEXT for text management).
  Ensuring that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for change) for the specific text type.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to change the text again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
