• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNIF_STATUS010 - No authorization to change network &1 ?

  The SAP error message CNIF_STATUS010 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change a network in the SAP system. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a network (such as a project network in Project System) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization. The user attempting to make changes to the network does not have the appropriate roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile in the SAP system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects related to network management.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow changes to networks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CNIF_STATUS010 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for network changes. This typically involves roles related to Project System (PS) or specific project management tasks.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If you have access, you can modify the authorization objects in the user’s role to include the necessary permissions. Common authorization objects for network management include:
  
  C_NFPA (Network Authorization)
  C_NFPR (Network Profile Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity authorizations (e.g., create, change, display).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the error message and the context in which it occurred so they can assist in granting the appropriate access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
