• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TWBA072 - No authorization to change test cases, display only ?

  The SAP error message TWBA072 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change test cases in the SAP system, and can only display them. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Solution Manager or other testing tools within the SAP ecosystem.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization assigned to the user role. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to modify test cases, which may include creating, editing, or deleting them. This can happen due to:
  
  Role Configuration: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects for changing test cases.
  Authorization Objects: Missing or incorrectly configured authorization objects related to test case management.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up correctly to allow for changes in the test case management area.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TWBA072 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user experiencing the issue. This can be done through transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for test case management.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the authorization objects related to test case management. Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_TCODE: Transaction code authorization.
  S_TSTC: Test case authorization.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the actions they need to perform.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust the roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  Test the functionality to ensure that the user can now change test cases as needed.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the necessary authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to authorization issues in your specific version of SAP.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user roles and authorizations, particularly in the context of SAP Solution Manager or the specific module you are working with.
