  The SAP error message SCTC_SC072 indicates that there is a missing authorization for a specific field in a component. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Solution Manager or when working with certain transactions that require specific authorizations to access or modify data.
  Cause:
  The error message SCTC_SC072 is triggered when a user attempts to perform an action that requires authorization for specific fields in a component, but the user does not have the necessary permissions. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user does not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  Field-Level Security: Certain fields may have restrictions based on field-level security settings, and the user lacks access to those fields.
  Authorization Objects: The authorization objects related to the component or fields are not properly configured or assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SCTC_SC072 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations.
  This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify that the user is missing the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects and fields to the role and then assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction or action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
