• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CF171 - You are not allowed to change PRTs with the auth. group &. ?

  The SAP error message CF171 indicates that a user is attempting to change Production Resources/Tools (PRTs) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization groups are used to control access to certain objects or transactions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The PRTs are assigned to a specific authorization group, and the user does not have the required authorization to make changes to PRTs in that group.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to modify PRTs.
  Missing Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., C_PRTP for PRTs) may not be included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CF171 error, 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 authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Groups:
  
  Identify the authorization group assigned to the PRT you are trying to change. You can do this by checking the PRT master data.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for that specific authorization group.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the relevant authorization object to the user's role, ensuring it includes the necessary activity (e.g., change, display).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the PRT in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
