• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CACSELT009 - Function is not possible (no authorization) ?

  The SAP error message CACSELT009 indicates that a function cannot be executed due to a lack of authorization. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the required permissions for the specific function.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the necessary roles that contain the required authorizations are assigned to the user.
  If the required role is not assigned, you may need to add it.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the authorization objects in the role to include the missing authorizations.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the authorization requirements for specific transactions.
  Provide training or documentation to help users understand how to request additional authorizations if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP security. Each authorization object contains one or more fields that define the specific authorizations required for a transaction.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  SAP Security Roles: Roles are collections of authorizations that can be assigned to users. They help manage user access to various functions within SAP.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
