  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PPEMPO102 - You are not authorized to change this object ?

    The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PPEMPO102: You are not authorized to change this object typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to modify a specific object within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to change a configuration, a master data record, or any other object that requires specific permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization roles or permissions to perform the action on the specified object.
    2. Object Locking: The object may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
    3. Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
      • Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
    2. Role Adjustment:

      • If the user lacks the required authorization, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
      • Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to the action being performed.
    3. Object Status:

      • Check if the object is locked. If it is, you may need to wait for the lock to be released or contact the user who has locked the object.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review any relevant documentation or guidelines for the specific module or object you are working with to ensure compliance with authorization requirements.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects define the permissions required to perform specific actions. Common authorization objects include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes), S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations), and others specific to the module in use.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization errors in your version of SAP.

    If the issue persists after checking and adjusting authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.

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.
