• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_MDG_BS_CLF_GEN013 - No authorization for class type &1 ?

  The SAP error message CM_MDG_BS_CLF_GEN013 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization for a specific class type in the Master Data Governance (MDG) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action related to a class type for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the specified class type. This can occur due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the class type in question.
  Incorrect Authorization Objects: The authorization objects associated with the class type may not be correctly configured or may not include the necessary permissions for the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, leading to insufficient permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary roles for accessing the class type.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This transaction will show you which authorization objects were checked and which ones failed.
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue and verify if the user has the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the class type.
  If the roles are already assigned but do not include the necessary permissions, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorization objects, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
