• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI153 - User &2 does not have authorization to modify network &1 ?

  The SAP error message GHO_ALLOC_UI153 indicates that a user is attempting to modify a network (in project management or production planning contexts) but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to modify the specified network. This could be due to missing roles or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object.
  Network Status: The network might be in a status that does not allow modifications, although this is less likely to trigger this specific error message.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to network modifications include:
  
  C_PROJ (Project Management)
  C_NWKS (Network Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate activity (e.g., create, change) for the network.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security or basis team. Provide them with the details of the error and the user’s requirements.
  
  
  
  Check Network Status:
  
  Verify that the network is not locked or in a status that prevents modifications. This can be checked in the network overview.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields. This can help in understanding what permissions are necessary for specific actions.
  Transaction Codes: 
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SU53 - Display Authorization Check
  
  
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with your organization’s policies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue and allow the user to modify the network as needed.
