  The SAP error message CL_DFPS_COBJ001 indicates that a user is attempting to change an object of a specific type (denoted by &1 in the message) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only perform actions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role assigned to their user profile to change the specified object type.
  Object Type Restrictions: The object type being modified may have specific restrictions or is protected by certain authorization checks.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific action they are trying to perform.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
