• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS_COPY002 - No authorizations to Copy, see long text ?

  The SAP error message CMS_COPY002 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a copy operation in the context of the SAP system, particularly in the context of the Central Management Server (CMS) or related components.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user trying to execute the copy operation. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user role does not include the necessary permissions for the copy action.
  The user is not assigned to the correct authorization group.
  The authorization objects required for the copy operation are not included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CMS_COPY002 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and profiles. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the copy operation.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to copy operations may include:
  
  S_CTS_ADMI (Transport Management)
  S_CTS_AUTH (Transport Management Authorization)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or 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 user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt the copy operation again.
