• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG221 - No authorization to read data/details of participant &1 ?

  The SAP error message CTS_ORGANIZER_MSG221 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read data or details of a participant in the Change and Transport System (CTS). This typically occurs when a user attempts to access information related to transport requests or tasks but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user role. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary authorizations for the following:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: The user may lack the required authorization objects related to CTS, such as:
  
  S_CTS_ADM (Change and Transport System Administration)
  S_CTS_TMS (Transport Management System)
  S_CTS_AUTH (Authorization for Change and Transport System)
  
  
  
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to a role that includes the necessary authorizations to view or manage transport requests.
  
  
  Participant Details: The specific participant (indicated by &1 in the error message) may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing its details.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for CTS.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the functionality again to confirm that the error is resolved.
