• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_2010C079 - Action not possible with Read-Only authorization ?

  The SAP error message CNV_2010C079: Action not possible with Read-Only authorization typically occurs in the context of data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools. This error indicates that the user attempting to perform an action does not have the necessary permissions to execute that action because their authorization is set to read-only.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorization: The user account being used does not have the required authorizations to perform the action. This is often due to the user being assigned a role that only allows read access to the relevant data or transaction.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for write or execute actions in the context of the migration or conversion process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include write permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.
  Modify Authorizations: If the user needs to perform actions that require more than read-only access, you may need to modify their existing roles or assign them additional roles that provide the necessary permissions.
  Consult with Security Team: If you are not authorized to change user roles or permissions, consult with your SAP security or basis team to adjust the user’s authorizations accordingly.
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or permissions, test the action again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may need to use transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) to check and modify user roles, or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to the specific actions in the migration or conversion process.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration tool you are using for any additional requirements or best practices regarding user authorizations.
  
  By ensuring that the user has the correct permissions, you should be able to resolve the CNV_2010C079 error and proceed with the necessary actions in the SAP system.
