• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE339 - You are not authorized to work in this operating concern ?

  The SAP error message KE339, which states "You are not authorized to work in this operating concern," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform actions in a controlling area or operating concern for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to access the specified operating concern.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects related to controlling (e.g., S_KE_4, S_KE_5, etc.) may not be assigned to the user.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the correct user roles that include access to the operating concern in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which 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 permissions, you can modify the user’s roles to include the required authorizations for the operating concern.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization.
  
  
  
  Assign Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user’s profile. This may involve adding the user to a role that has the necessary authorizations or creating a custom role that includes the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for controlling, such as:
  
  S_KE_4: Authorization for operating concern
  S_KE_5: Authorization for controlling area
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check
  SU01: User maintenance
  PFCG: Role maintenance
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting with a technical expert familiar with your SAP environment.
