• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STRALAN_MSAG121 - You have no authorization to change the language data ?

  The SAP error message STRALAN_MSAG121 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change language data in the system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify language-specific settings or translations without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to perform actions related to language data. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict access to certain language data changes to specific user roles or groups.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for language data changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to view the user profile.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects, such as S_TCODE for transaction access and any specific objects related to language data changes.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the required permissions. This can be done by a system administrator or a user with the appropriate rights.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the necessary authorizations and make the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
