  The SAP error message SFW019 ("You have no change authorization") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a configuration or settings in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization to do so. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to modify system settings, customizing applications, or changing user roles.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role assigned to their user profile to perform the action.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or configuration.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
