• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT142 - Terminate consents not permitted; missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message CONSENT_MANAGEMENT142 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization required to terminate consents in the Consent Management module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that they do not have the necessary permissions for.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user role attempting to terminate consents. In SAP, different actions require specific authorizations, and if the user does not have the necessary permissions assigned, the system will prevent them from completing the action.
  Solution:
  To resolve the CONSENT_MANAGEMENT142 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user’s role and the associated authorizations. You can do this by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the authorization check that failed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects related to consent management. Common authorization objects that may be involved include:
  
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  S_CRM_CONSENT (Consent Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their user role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to terminate the consent again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for Consent Management to understand the specific authorizations required for different actions.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on authorization management in Consent Management.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the CONSENT_MANAGEMENT142 error and successfully terminate consents as needed.
