• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL307 - No authorization to read payroll cluster; contact administrator ?

  The SAP error message CNVHCM_PRESEL307 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read the payroll cluster data. This typically occurs in the context of SAP HCM (Human Capital Management) when a user attempts to access payroll-related information but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the appropriate authorization object assigned to their user profile. In SAP, access to payroll data is controlled by specific authorization objects, such as P_ORGIN (Organizational Management) and P_PCL2 (Payroll Cluster).
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations to access payroll data.
  Profile Configuration: The user’s profile may not be configured correctly to include the necessary permissions for payroll data access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary roles and profiles assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to payroll data.
  Common roles that may include payroll access are those related to HR administrators or payroll specialists.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the user needs specific access, you may need to modify existing authorization profiles or create new ones that include the necessary authorization objects for payroll access.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Security Administrator:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for payroll access, such as:
  
  P_PCL2: Payroll Cluster Access
  P_ORGIN: Organizational Management
