  The SAP error message EHPRC_CPM_MATERIAL006 indicates that a user is not authorized to display material classification data. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) module or when dealing with material management in general.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to access material classification data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for viewing material classification.
  Object-Specific Authorization: The authorization object related to material classification (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_DATA, etc.) may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to material classification data.
  Authorization Object: Review the authorization objects related to material management and classification. You may need to check the following:
  
  M_MATE_MAR: Material Master: General Data
  M_MATE_DATA: Material Master: Data
  M_MATE_CLASS: Material Master: Classification
  
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Role Adjustment: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust the roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically requires the involvement of a security administrator or someone with the necessary permissions to modify roles.
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP's official documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and how to manage user roles.
  Security Audit: Conduct a security audit to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels without compromising system security.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to request access or report authorization issues to the appropriate personnel.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
