• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DNO168 - No authorization for this notification ?

  The SAP error message DNO168, which states "No authorization for this notification," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform an action on a notification (such as a maintenance notification) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, including Plant Maintenance (PM) or Customer Service (CS).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access or modify the notification.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object.
  Notification Status: The notification may be in a status that restricts access based on user roles or authorizations.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have access to the organizational units associated with the notification.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the authorization check that failed. This will help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to notifications, such as I_NTFY (for notifications) and ensure the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for notifications.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review Notification Status:
  
  Check the status of the notification to ensure it is not in a state that restricts access. If it is, you may need to change the status or consult with a supervisor.
  
  
  
  Organizational Level Access:
  
  Verify that the user has access to the relevant organizational units (e.g., plant, location) associated with the notification. This may involve checking the user’s organizational assignments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
