The SAP error message
/ISDFPS/PM_DIS177 Change authorization redistributed
typically occurs in the context of SAP's Integrated Business Planning (IBP) or similar applications where authorization management is crucial for data integrity and security. This error indicates that there has been a change in the authorization settings for a user or a group of users, and the system is notifying that the change has been redistributed.Cause:
- Authorization Changes: The most common cause of this error is that the authorization settings for a user or role have been modified. This could be due to changes made by an administrator or through a role update.
- Role Assignment: If a user has been assigned a new role or if an existing role has been modified, the system may trigger this message to indicate that the user’s permissions have changed.
- Data Locking: Sometimes, this error can also occur if there are data locks in place that prevent the user from making changes due to insufficient permissions.
Solution:
- Check Authorizations: Review the authorization profiles assigned to the user or role in question. Ensure that the necessary permissions for the actions they are trying to perform are included.
- Role Maintenance: If changes were made to roles, ensure that these changes are correctly reflected in the user’s profile. You may need to reassign roles or refresh the user’s authorization data.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
