• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC007 - No authority to modify node &1 ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/DS_AC007 No authority to modify node &1 typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to modify a node (such as a storage bin, warehouse task, or other organizational unit) in the data structure without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to perform the requested action on the specified node. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required roles assigned that grant permission to modify the specific node.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the EWM module may not be configured correctly for the user.
  Node-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the node that prevent modifications, even if the user has general permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned in the SAP system. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for modifying nodes in EWM.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_WM_ALL, S_WM_BERE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to modify the specific node.
  You can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the required permissions.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned and activated.
  
  
  
  Node-Specific Settings:
  
  If the node has specific settings or restrictions, review those settings to ensure that they allow for modifications by the user in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
