• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message INM302 - Navigation not possible; create or administration authorization needed ?

  The SAP error message INM302: Navigation not possible; create or administration authorization needed typically occurs when a user attempts to access a transaction or function in SAP that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess. This error is common in modules related to Inventory Management (IM) or other areas where user roles and permissions are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the action they are trying to execute. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or function.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object required for the action is not included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorizations: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This transaction provides a detailed view of the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Authorization Object: Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. This can be done by consulting with your SAP security team or by reviewing the documentation for the transaction.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional authorizations, they should submit a request to the SAP security team or the appropriate personnel in your organization to have the necessary roles or authorizations added.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
