• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CLMM853 - No Authorization ?

  The SAP error message CLMM853 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action or access certain data within the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of the SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) or Logistics modules, particularly when dealing with master data or transaction data.
  Cause:
  The error is usually caused by one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the user does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the transaction or data access may not be properly configured or may have restrictions that prevent the user from proceeding.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles or profiles that include the required authorizations.
  Changes in Authorization Profiles: Recent changes to authorization profiles or roles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CLMM853 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Analyze the output to determine which authorizations need to be added.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user roles using transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Add the required authorization objects to the relevant roles and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the actions you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
