• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FSSC_RDS115 - You are not authorized to assign roles to User &1 in ERP system. ?

  The SAP error message FSSC_RDS115 indicates that a user is attempting to assign roles to another user in the ERP system but does not have the necessary authorization to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP environments where role-based access control is implemented.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to assign roles does not have the required authorizations in the authorization object related to user management (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, etc.).
  Role Assignment Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions in place that prevent certain users from assigning roles to others, based on organizational policies or system configurations.
  User Status: The user to whom roles are being assigned may have a status that restricts role assignment (e.g., locked or inactive).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to assign roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access should update the user's roles to include the required authorizations for role assignment.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignment Policies:
  
  Check if there are any organizational policies or configurations that restrict role assignments. This may involve consulting with your SAP security team or reviewing documentation related to user management.
  
  
  
  User Status Check:
  
  Ensure that the user to whom roles are being assigned is active and not locked. This can be checked in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP Notes or the SAP Help Portal for additional guidance on authorization issues related to user role assignments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with relevant authorization objects such as S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization) and S_USER_PRO (User Profile) to understand the permissions required for user management tasks.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  SAP Security Best Practices: Ensure that your organization follows best practices for SAP security, including regular audits of user roles and authorizations.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP Basis or Security team for further assistance.
