• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ACCGO/UIS_MSG336 - External ID &1: Authorization failed to release event type &2 ?

  The SAP error message /ACCGO/UIS_MSG336 indicates that there is an authorization issue related to the release of an event type in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Event Management or similar modules where specific event types require certain authorizations to be released or processed.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when a user attempts to release an event type (denoted by &2) using an external ID (denoted by &1), but the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to release the specified event type.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: There may be restrictions in the authorization objects that govern the release of event types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which 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 appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for releasing the event type.
  If the user is missing a role, you may need to assign the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user has the correct role but still encounters the error, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with that role to include the necessary permissions for the event type in question.
  This may involve working with your SAP security team to adjust the roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Attempt to release the event type again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
