• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDM_MIRROR105 - You are not authorized to set up the system ?

  The SAP error message FDM_MIRROR105 indicates that a user is not authorized to set up the system, which typically relates to permissions and roles within the SAP environment. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to configure system settings, access certain transactions, or perform specific actions that require elevated privileges.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the action they are attempting.
  Role Assignment: The required roles or profiles that grant the necessary permissions are not assigned to the user.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured in a way that restricts certain actions to specific user groups or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization objects were checked and failed. This can provide insight into what specific permissions are missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure which roles are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the correct roles based on the action being performed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
