• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT034 - You are not authorized for background processing of file import. ?

  The SAP error message MDQ_DATA_IMPORT034 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform background processing for file imports in the Master Data Governance (MDG) module. This typically occurs when a user attempts to import data files into the system but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user account attempting the import does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to perform background processing for file imports.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the specific authorizations needed for the MDG data import process.
  Profile Restrictions: There may be restrictions in the user profile that prevent background processing.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the authorization logs to identify which specific authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned. Common roles that may be required include:
  
  MDG roles related to data import (e.g., MDG_DATA_IMPORT).
  Background processing roles (e.g., SAP_ALL or specific roles that include background processing capabilities).
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the user has the correct role but still encounters the error, the role may need to be modified to include the necessary authorizations for background processing.
  Use transaction code PFCG to adjust the role settings.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the file import again to verify that the issue is resolved.
