• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/LIBRARY029 - No authorization to update instances of node &1 of BO &2 ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/LIBRARY029 No authorization to update instances of node &1 of BO &2 typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform an update operation on a specific Business Object (BO) node in the Business Object Processing Framework (BOPF).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object for the specific Business Object or node. This can happen if the user role does not include the necessary permissions to update the instances of that BO.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the specific BO.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for the Business Object may not be defined in the user's role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the Business Object in question.
  If the user is missing a role, you may need to assign the appropriate role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are not included in the user's roles, you may need to modify the roles to include the necessary authorization objects. This can be done using transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the Business Object and its nodes are included in the role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the operation again to confirm that the authorization issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
