• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDM_CLF_LEAN013 - No authorization for class type &1 ?

  The SAP error message MDM_CLF_LEAN013 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization for a specific class type in the Master Data Management (MDM) module. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action related to a class type for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the specified class type (denoted by &1 in the error message). This can occur due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the class type.
  Incorrect Authorization Object Configuration: The authorization objects related to MDM may not be correctly configured to include the necessary class types.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, or the user may not belong to the correct user groups.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign the appropriate roles that include authorization for the class type in question. This may involve working with your SAP security team to ensure the user has the correct access.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., MDM_CLASS, MDM_AUTH) to ensure they are configured correctly to include the required class types.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to MDM authorization issues for additional guidance.
