• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL223 - No authorization to save changes; contact system administrator ?

  The SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL223 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to save changes in a specific transaction or process. This error typically occurs in the context of Human Capital Management (HCM) or related modules where user permissions are critical for data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to save changes does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to the specific transaction or data being modified.
  Role Changes: Recent changes to user roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  Organizational Restrictions: Certain organizational policies may restrict access to specific functionalities based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  The user should contact their system administrator or security team to review their authorization profile.
  The administrator can use transaction codes like SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) or PFCG (to manage roles and authorizations) to identify missing permissions.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, the administrator should assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or process being accessed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The administrator should check the relevant authorization objects associated with the transaction. Common objects in HCM might include P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, and others depending on the specific functionality being accessed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, the user should attempt to save changes again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of their roles and the authorizations they have. Providing training on how to request additional access can also be beneficial.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), SU53 (Authorization Check), and PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors in the specific version of SAP you are using.
  Security Audits: Regularly conduct security audits to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels and that there are no unauthorized changes to roles and authorizations.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support for more complex authorization issues.
