This error typically arises in the Production Planning (PP) or Plant Maintenance (PM) modules when a user attempts to perform actions related to work centers or operations in production orders or maintenance orders.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user for the specified work center and plant. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that include access to the specific work center and plant.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to work centers (e.g., C_APL_ORD, C_AU_WC) may not be configured correctly for the user.

  Solution:
  To resolve the MSAM_CL017 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the relevant work center and plant.
  If the user is missing roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct roles but still encounters the error, check the authorization objects related to work centers and ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific work center and plant.
  You may need to adjust the values in the authorization objects to include the required work center and plant.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
