• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FCC1154 - You are not authorized to assign authorization groups ?

  The SAP error message FCC1154, which states "You are not authorized to assign authorization groups," typically occurs when a user attempts to assign authorization groups to objects (like roles, profiles, or users) but lacks the necessary permissions to perform this action.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations in their user profile to assign authorization groups.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for managing authorization groups.
  System Configuration: There may be system-level restrictions or configurations that prevent certain users from assigning authorization groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary access, you can modify the user’s roles in transaction PFCG to include the required authorizations for assigning authorization groups. Look for authorization objects like S_USER_AUTH or S_USER_AGR that pertain to user authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization. They can review and adjust the authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, test the functionality again to ensure that the user can now assign authorization groups without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
