• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CSM012 - &1: User &2 not authorized for S_CCM_RECV ?

  The SAP error message CSM012 indicates that a user is not authorized to perform a specific action related to the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS). The message specifically states that the user (&2) does not have the necessary authorization for the authorization object S_CCM_RECV.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or function that requires authorization to receive change requests or transport requests in the Change and Transport Management (CTM) system. The authorization object S_CCM_RECV is used to control access to receiving transport requests.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile of the affected user (&2).
  Go to the "Roles" tab to see the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Role Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Check if the roles contain the necessary authorization for the object S_CCM_RECV.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the role does not have the required authorization, you can either:
  
  Add the authorization object S_CCM_RECV to the role.
  Create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate activity (e.g., 01 for "Create", 02 for "Change", 03 for "Display") for the S_CCM_RECV object.
  
  
  
  Assign the Role to the User:
  
  After modifying the role, assign it to the user if it is not already assigned.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction or function again to confirm that the error is resolved.
