• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_SVY_CN_OBND001 - No authorization to maintain RFC connections ?

  The SAP error message CRM_SVY_CN_OBND001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to maintain Remote Function Call (RFC) connections in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform actions related to RFC connections without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the required authorization objects that allow them to maintain RFC connections. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects for maintaining RFC connections.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the CRM_SVY_CN_OBND001 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 and enter the user ID to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has a role that includes the necessary authorizations for maintaining RFC connections.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects.
  The relevant authorization objects for RFC connections typically include:
  
  S_RFC: This object controls access to RFC calls.
  S_RFC_ADM: This object is specifically for maintaining RFC destinations.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign the Role:
  
  After modifying or creating the role, assign it to the user in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how to manage authorizations in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like PFCG (Role Maintenance) and SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Security Best Practices: Ensure that roles are assigned based on the principle of least privilege, granting users only the permissions they need to perform their job functions.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's security policies for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP security team or administrator for further assistance.
