• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMP_NEW159 - Not authorized for transaction &1 ?

  The SAP error message CMP_NEW159, which states "Not authorized for transaction &1," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to execute the specified transaction in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, incorrect authorization objects, or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Role: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate role that includes access to the transaction.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The user may have the role assigned, but the authorization objects within that role do not grant access to the specific transaction.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, leading to insufficient permissions.
  Transaction Code Issues: The transaction code itself may be restricted for certain user groups or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the role containing the required transaction is included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization objects failed.
  If you have access, you can also use transaction PFCG to review the roles and authorization objects associated with the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the necessary role, you may need to assign it using transaction PFCG.
  If the role exists but lacks the necessary authorizations, you can modify the role to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.
