• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/FCM059 - Catalog '&1' could not be changed because of missing authorizations ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/FCM059 indicates that a user is attempting to change a catalog in the Fiori Launchpad but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error typically arises in the context of managing Fiori applications and their associated catalogs.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations for the user trying to modify the specified catalog. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user does not have the required roles assigned that grant permissions to change catalogs.
  Authorization Objects: The user may lack specific authorization objects related to Fiori catalog management.
  Catalog Ownership: The catalog may be owned by another user or role, and the current user does not have the necessary permissions to modify it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for managing Fiori catalogs.
  You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for catalog management. Common roles include SAP_FIORI_ADMIN or custom roles that have been set up for Fiori administration.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the authorization objects related to Fiori catalog management, such as S_FIORI_CATALOG and S_FIORI_GROUP. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Check Catalog Ownership:
  
  If the catalog is owned by another user or role, you may need to either change the ownership or grant the current user the necessary permissions to modify it.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction /UI2/FLP:
  
  You can also use the Fiori Launchpad Designer (transaction /UI2/FLP) to check the catalog and its settings. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access and modify the catalog.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about the required roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or basis team to ensure that the user has the correct permissions.
