• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CSM020 - &1: User &2 not authorized for S_RZL_ADM ?

  The SAP error message CSM020 indicates that a user is not authorized for the authorization object S_RZL_ADM. This authorization object is related to the administration of the SAP system, specifically for managing and monitoring the system's resources and settings.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific administrative privileges, but their user profile does not include the necessary authorization for the S_RZL_ADM object. This can happen if:
  
  The user has not been assigned the appropriate roles or authorizations.
  The user's role has been modified or removed.
  The user is trying to access a transaction or function that requires higher-level permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if any of them include the necessary authorizations for S_RZL_ADM.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Role:
  
  If the user does not have the required role, you may need to assign a role that includes the S_RZL_ADM authorization. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction code PFCG to create or modify roles.
  Adding the S_RZL_ADM authorization object to the role.
  Assigning the role to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  After assigning the role, you can use transaction code SU53 to check the authorization check after the error occurs. This will help you identify which specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  Once the necessary authorizations are assigned, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the changes take effect.
  Test the action that previously caused the error to confirm that it is resolved.
