  The SAP error message SOLAR_DOC140 indicates that a user is attempting to assign the status 'RELEASED' to a document or object in the SAP Solution Manager, but they do not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue related to user roles and authorizations within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization to change the status of the document to 'RELEASED'.
  Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  Document Status Management: The system is configured to restrict certain status changes to specific user roles or groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.

  Updating the role in PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  
  
  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 assess and modify the roles as needed.
  
  
  
  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.
