  The SAP error message CNV_OM_PRESEL001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform debugging in the SAP system. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or similar tools.
  Cause:

  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations. This transaction will show you the last authorization check that failed.
  
  
  
  Assign Debugging Authorization:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects for debugging. The key authorization object is S_DEVELOP (for debugging) and S_PROGRAM (for executing programs).

  You can assign these authorizations through transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) by adding them to the relevant role assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or system administrator. They can review and adjust the user’s roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been assigned, ask the user to log out and log back in to the system. Then, attempt to reproduce the action that caused the error to verify that the issue has been resolved.
