• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EASYDMS001 - No authorization to create user-independent filters ?

  The SAP error message EASYDMS001 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create user-independent filters in the Document Management System (DMS). This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to create or manage user-independent filters in the DMS. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the required authorization objects related to DMS.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow for the creation of filters.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not have been updated to include the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for DMS.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for DMS filters typically include S_DMS_ADM (DMS Administration) and S_DMS_AUTH (DMS Authorization).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations within these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Test Changes:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test to see if the user can now create user-independent filters without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage in DMS.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) to troubleshoot authorization issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to DMS authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EASYDMS001 error and enable the user to create user-independent filters in SAP DMS.
