• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_OR_PS001 - No authority for debugging ?

  The SAP error message CNV_OR_PS001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform debugging in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to debug a program or transaction but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the absence of the necessary authorization object in the user's profile. In SAP, debugging requires specific authorizations that are controlled by authorization objects. The relevant authorization object for debugging is usually S_DEVELOP (for development-related activities) and S_USER_AUTH (for user authorizations).
  Solution:
  To resolve the CNV_OR_PS001 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's current authorization profile to see if they have the necessary permissions for debugging.
  You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to display the user profile and check the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles that include debugging permissions.
  The role should include the authorization object S_DEVELOP with the activity 02 (Change) or 03 (Display) for debugging.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change user roles, contact your SAP security administrator or BASIS team. They can review and modify the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been assigned, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the debugging functionality again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Understanding SAP authorization objects is crucial for managing user permissions effectively. You can find more information about authorization objects in the SAP documentation or by using transaction code SU21.
  Debugging in SAP: Debugging is a powerful tool in SAP that allows developers and administrators to analyze and troubleshoot programs. However, it should be used with caution, especially in production environments.
  Security Best Practices: Always follow security best practices when assigning authorizations. Grant only the minimum necessary permissions to users to reduce the risk of unauthorized access or changes.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required to identify any additional underlying issues.
