This message indicates that the data you are trying to modify is currently being utilized in a way that restricts global changes, allowing only local modifications.

  Solution:
  
  Local Changes: If you need to make changes, you can do so locally. This means you can modify the object in the context of your current session or transaction, but these changes may not be reflected globally or in other sessions.
  Check Cockpit Usage: Identify if the object is currently being used in any active cockpit or dashboard. If so, you may need to wait until it is no longer in use before making changes.
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the cockpit or dashboard to see if there are options to allow for broader changes or to release locks on the objects.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on the object you are trying to modify and the implications of making changes.
