• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL_PS_MD_MSG033 - No authorization to display network header ?

  The SAP error message CL_PS_MD_MSG033 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display the network header in the Project System (PS) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access project-related data without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to various transactions and data is controlled through authorization objects. If the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the Project System, they will encounter this error when trying to view network headers.
  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 insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Look for roles that are related to Project System (PS) and ensure they include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator). Ensure that the roles include the required authorization objects for displaying network headers in the Project System. Common authorization objects related to Project System include:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_PS (Project System)
  
  
  Make sure to include the necessary activity codes (like display, change, etc.) for the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
