• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATP_BOP_SYS_CONFIG013 - No authorization to maintain RFC destinations ?

  The SAP error message ATP_BOP_SYS_CONFIG013 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to maintain RFC (Remote Function Call) destinations in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access or modify RFC destinations but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user role or profile that is currently being used. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorizations related to the following:
  
  Authorization Object S_RFC: This object controls access to RFC destinations.
  Authorization Object S_TCODE: This object controls access to transaction codes, which may include the transaction used to maintain RFC destinations (e.g., SM59).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 and enter the user ID to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has roles that include the necessary authorizations for maintaining RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and add the required authorization objects (e.g., S_RFC).
  
  
  
  Assign the Role:
  
  After modifying or creating the role, assign it to the user in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Log in again with the user account and attempt to access the RFC destinations to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SM59: Used to maintain RFC destinations.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  S_RFC: Controls access to RFC calls and destinations.
  S_TCODE: Controls access to transaction codes.
  
  
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly review user roles and authorizations to ensure they align with business needs and security policies.
  Implement a change management process for authorizations to prevent unauthorized access.
  
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP security team or administrator for further assistance.
