• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IP620 - You do not have authorization for maintenance plan & ?

  The SAP error message IP620, which states "You do not have authorization for maintenance plan &," typically indicates that the user attempting to access or modify a maintenance plan does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to view or edit the maintenance plan. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in their user profile.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for maintenance planning.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on specific maintenance plans based on organizational units or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review and Update Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorization objects for maintenance planning (e.g., I_MAINT_PLAN).
  If the user needs access to specific maintenance plans, ensure that the roles include the necessary object authorizations for those plans.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  The relevant authorization object for maintenance plans is typically I_MAINT_PLAN. Ensure that the user has the necessary activity (like display, change, create) for this object.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance.
