• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRMS4_PS_BUFFER031 - No authorization to create objects of type '&1' ?

  The SAP error message CRMS4_PS_BUFFER031 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create objects of a specific type in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP CRM (Customer Relationship Management) or SAP PS (Project System) when a user attempts to create or modify an object but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific object type indicated by &1 in the error message is the type of object the user is trying to create (e.g., a project, a service order, etc.). The system checks the user's authorizations against the required authorizations for that object type, and if the user does not have the necessary permissions, the error is triggered.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Identify the Object Type: Check the error message for the specific object type indicated by &1. This will help you understand what type of object the user is trying to create.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This transaction will show you which authorization object was missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and the associated authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the object type in question.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects and activities (e.g., create, change, display) for the specific object type.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, you may need to consult with your SAP security team or administrator to make the required adjustments.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functions and data. Each object has fields that define the specific authorizations required.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01: User maintenance
  SU53: Display authorization check
  PFCG: Role maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to grant the necessary authorizations to the user.
