• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD612 - No authorization to edit text &1 &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message TD612 "No authorization to edit text &1 &2 &3" typically indicates that a user is attempting to edit a text object (such as a long text, short text, or documentation) for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can occur in various contexts, such as when working with material master data, sales orders, or other objects that have associated texts.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user does not have the required permissions to edit the text associated with the specified object (indicated by &1, &2, &3 in the error message).
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for editing texts. This may involve checking the authorization objects related to text editing, such as S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, or specific text-related authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions. This typically involves working with a security administrator or someone with the necessary access to change roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance purposes.
