• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/CDM3_EXP009 - You are not authorized to change the selected roles ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/CDM3_EXP009 indicates that a user is not authorized to change the selected roles in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Fiori Launchpad or when managing user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to modify roles. This could be due to missing authorizations in the user's profile or role assignments.
  Role Restrictions: The roles being modified may have restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict role changes to specific user groups or administrators.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current roles and authorizations using transaction SU53 after the error occurs. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change roles. This typically includes authorizations like S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization) and S_USER_PRO (User Profile).
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user needs to change roles, ensure they are assigned to a role that has the necessary permissions to perform this action. This may involve assigning them to a role with administrative privileges.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not the security administrator, consult with your SAP security team to review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction PFCG:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorizations. Check the role definitions and ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Review Role Configuration:
  
  Check if the roles being modified have specific restrictions or settings that prevent changes. This may involve reviewing the role's configuration in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on authorization issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to user roles and authorizations, especially in the context of Fiori and the Launchpad.

  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Authorization Check
