• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CF173 - You do not have authorization to delete PRTs with the auth. group &. ?

  The SAP error message CF173 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete Production Resources/Tools (PRTs) associated with a specific authorization group. This error typically arises in the context of managing PRTs in the SAP system, particularly when trying to delete them.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to certain actions, such as deleting PRTs, is controlled by authorization objects. If the user does not have the required permissions for the specific authorization group associated with the PRT, the system will prevent the action and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization object for PRTs is typically C_PRTPR (Authorization for PRT). Check if the user has the necessary authorizations for this object, particularly for the action of deletion.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or profiles. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction code PFCG to edit the role assigned to the user.
  Adding the necessary authorization for the deletion of PRTs under the relevant authorization group.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the PRT again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Groups: These are used in SAP to control access to specific objects or transactions. Each PRT can be assigned to an authorization group, which determines who can perform actions on it.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User maintenance (to check user roles).
  PFCG: Role maintenance (to modify roles).
  SU53: Display authorization check (to see failed authorizations).
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing authorizations and roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CF173 error and gain the necessary permissions to delete PRTs as required.
