XT008 - Details

• The SAP error message XT008: No authorization to change TMS configuration typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to the Transport Management System (TMS) configuration but lacks the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to configure transport routes, transport layers, or other TMS-related settings.
  
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization. In SAP, authorization checks are performed to ensure that users have the necessary permissions to perform specific actions. For TMS configuration, specific authorization objects must be assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the XT008 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
