• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M2556 - No authorization for DD structure & ?

  The SAP error message M2556, which states "No authorization for DD structure &," typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a Data Dictionary (DD) structure for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to view or modify data related to a specific structure in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization to access the specified Data Dictionary structure.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to access certain objects or transactions related to the DD structure.
  Profile Issues: The user’s authorization profile may not be correctly configured to include access to the required Data Dictionary objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see what authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check 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. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the roles assigned to the user include access to the relevant Data Dictionary objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the context in which it occurred.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects that control access to Data Dictionary structures. Common authorization objects include:
  
  S_TABU_DIS: Table Display Authorization
  S_TABU_CLI: Table Change Authorization
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
