• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CF170 - You are not permitted to create PRT with auth. group &. ?

  The SAP error message CF170 indicates that a user is not authorized to create a Production Resource Tool (PRT) with the specified authorization group. This typically occurs when the user lacks the necessary permissions in their user profile to perform the action.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user trying to create a PRT. In SAP, authorization groups are used to control access to certain objects, and if a user does not have the required permissions for the specified authorization group, they will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific permission is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for creating PRTs.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects related to PRT creation, such as C_PRD_AUTH (Authorization for Production Resources).
  
  
  
  Assign the Correct Authorization Group:
  
  If the PRT is associated with a specific authorization group, ensure that the user has access to that group. This can be done by adding the user to the appropriate authorization group in the role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to create the PRT again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to PRTs. This may include C_PRD_AUTH and others specific to your organization's configuration.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the CF170 error message.
