• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DIWP1401 - No authorization for assignment of notification from revision & / & ?

  The SAP error message DIWP1401 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to assign a notification from a specific revision. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS) modules, where notifications are used to track issues, maintenance requests, or service orders.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user attempting to perform the assignment. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects related to notifications.
  Incorrect User Role: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that has the required permissions.
  Authorization Profile Issues: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow the assignment of notifications.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DIWP1401 error, you can take the following 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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to notifications (e.g., I_NTFY, I_PM, etc.).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the required authorizations.
  If the user already has the correct role, you may need to modify the role to include the missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to assist in resolving the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the assignment of the notification again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
