• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SCWM/IT_DEVKIT116 - No authorization to edit data set ?

  The SAP error message /SCWM/IT_DEVKIT116 No authorization to edit data set typically occurs in the context of SAP Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) when a user attempts to edit a data set but lacks the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to modify master data, configuration settings, or other related data sets.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP, authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, and if a user tries to perform an action that is not permitted by their assigned roles, they will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for editing the specific data set.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action again to see if the error persists.
