• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACS_SEG038 - At least one row was filtered out due to missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message CACS_SEG038 indicates that at least one row of data was filtered out due to missing authorization. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Customer Activity Repository (CAR) or SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) systems, where user authorizations are critical for data access and manipulation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the transaction does not have the necessary authorizations to view or manipulate certain data rows. This can happen if the user’s role does not include access to specific data objects or fields.
  Data Segmentation: The system may be configured to filter data based on certain criteria, and if the user lacks the necessary authorizations for those criteria, the data will be filtered out.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or report being executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles and Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to adjust the roles or create new ones that include the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Data Segmentation Configuration:
  
  If applicable, review the data segmentation settings in the system to ensure that they align with the user’s authorizations. This may involve adjusting the segmentation rules or criteria.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Re-run the transaction or report to verify that the issue has been resolved.
