• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACC_DATABASIS015 - User &1 is not authorized to change data basis &2 ?

  The SAP error message ACC_DATABASIS015 indicates that a user (denoted as &1) does not have the necessary authorization to change a specific data basis (denoted as &2). This error typically arises in the context of financial or controlling modules where data basis management is crucial.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to modify the specified data basis.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for data basis changes.
  Data Basis Locking: The data basis might be locked for changes due to ongoing processes or configurations that prevent modifications.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This will show which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for changing the data basis.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is granted the correct permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Data Basis Configuration:
  
  Check if the data basis is currently locked or if there are any ongoing processes that might prevent changes. If so, wait for those processes to complete or unlock the data basis if appropriate.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines regarding data basis management and user authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
  Attempt the operation again to see if the error persists.
