• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ICC_FI_CN027 - No authorization to change Customizing settings ?

  The SAP error message ICC_FI_CN027 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change customizing settings in the system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to modify configuration settings in the SAP system but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the appropriate authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to customizing settings.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to a role that includes the necessary permissions for the specific customizing activity they are trying to perform.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles, and the user may not have access to those transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 to view the user profile and check the assigned roles.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the customizing activity. Common authorization objects related to customizing include:
  
  S_TCODE: Authorization for transaction codes.
  S_CUS_AUTH: Authorization for customizing activities.
  
  
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the customizing activity again.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for specific authorization requirements related to the customizing settings you are trying to change.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes related to customizing include SPRO (SAP Project Reference Object) for accessing the customizing settings.
  Authorization Management: Use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization failures. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which authorization is missing.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization management.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to engage with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation and resolution.
