• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPAK_ADT_PACKAGE_UI013 - No authorisation to edit package '&1' ?

  The SAP error message SPAK_ADT_PACKAGE_UI013 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to edit a specific package in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT). This error typically arises when a user attempts to modify or manage a package for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization. In SAP, packages are used to group related objects, and access to these packages is controlled through authorization objects. If a user tries to edit a package without the appropriate authorizations, the system will generate this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and check if they include the necessary authorizations for package editing.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles or create a custom role that includes the required authorizations.
  The relevant authorization object for package editing is typically S_DEVELOP (Development Authorization) with the activity 02 (Change) for the specific package.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator. They can help you understand the required authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Package Ownership:
  
  Ensure that the user is not trying to edit a package that is owned by another user or is restricted. Sometimes, packages are locked for editing by specific users or roles.
  
  
  
  Check Package Status:
  
  Verify if the package is in a state that allows editing. Some packages may be locked or in a transport request that prevents changes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects in SAP, especially S_DEVELOP and S_TRANSPRT.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SE80: Object Navigator (to check package details)
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on authorization management and package handling for more detailed information.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to gain the necessary access to edit the package.
