• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1126 - No authorization for changing client-independent objects ?

  The SAP error message USMD1126 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change client-independent objects in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of the SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) module, where certain objects are defined at the client-independent level.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user attempting to make changes to client-independent objects. Client-independent objects are those that are not specific to a particular client in the SAP system, meaning they are shared across all clients. Examples include certain configuration settings, data models, and other global settings.
  Solution:
  To resolve the USMD1126 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which specific authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify client-independent objects.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign them roles that include the required authorizations. Common authorization objects related to client-independent changes include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction Codes)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations)
  S_MDG_* (MDG-specific authorizations)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the appropriate roles and authorizations needed for the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to user roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance purposes.
