• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LAW2_MESSAGES455 - No authorization for role maintenance; fields are not ready for input. ?

  The SAP error message LAW2_MESSAGES455 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform role maintenance tasks in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify roles in the Profile Generator (PFCG) or similar transaction but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to maintain roles.
  Role Restrictions: The roles or profiles that the user is trying to access may have restrictions that prevent them from making changes.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for role maintenance (like S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, S_TCODE, etc.) are not included in the user's assigned roles.
  
  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 is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can assign the required roles to the user. This may include roles like SAP_BC_SECURITY_ADMIN or other custom roles that include the necessary authorizations for role maintenance.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the appropriate roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the roles being accessed are correctly configured and that there are no restrictions preventing the user from editing them.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Check:
  
  Verify that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user's roles. Common objects for role maintenance include:
  
  S_USER_AUTH: Authorization for user maintenance
  S_USER_PRO: Authorization for profile maintenance
  S_TCODE: Authorization for transaction codes
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
