• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN064 - You are not authorized to create set types or attributes ?

  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN064 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create set types or attributes in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of the SAP Classification System, where users may attempt to create or modify classification attributes or set types.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile to perform actions related to creating or modifying set types or attributes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for creating set types and attributes. The relevant authorization objects may include:
  
  C_COM_ATTR (for classification attributes)
  C_COM_SET (for set types)
  
  
  If these authorization objects are missing, you may need to add them to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles using transaction code PFCG. Add the required authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help ensure that the user has the correct authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to create the set type or attribute again.
