• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_DSM042 - Authorization check for discarding deployments in managed system failed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_DSM042 indicates that there is an authorization issue related to discarding deployments in a managed system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations for the user trying to discard a deployment in the SAP system. The specific authorization object that is usually involved in this scenario is related to the FDT (Flexible Data Transfer) framework, which manages data transfers and deployments.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to check the user profile.
  Look for the relevant authorization objects that are required for discarding deployments. This may include objects like F_FDT_DSP or similar, depending on your system configuration.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles or directly add the required authorizations to the user profile.
  This can be done through transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) where you can modify roles and add the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  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. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to discard the deployment again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
