  The SAP error message UGMD2753 indicates that a user is attempting to change characteristics in a system where they do not have the necessary authorization. The message specifies that the user lacks the required authorization for the characteristic type indicated by &1.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile to modify the specified characteristics.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific characteristic type.
  Characteristic Type Restrictions: Certain characteristic types may have restrictions that prevent changes unless specific authorizations are granted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for changing the characteristics.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization object that controls access to the characteristic type. This could be an object related to the specific module or functionality you are working with.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate values assigned to this authorization object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify and assign the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations or roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to perform the action again to see if the error persists.
