• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_APPL047 - An authorization has been destroyed in the user master record ?

  The SAP error message PLM_AUDIT_APPL047 indicates that an authorization has been destroyed in the user master record. This typically occurs when a user tries to perform an action for which they no longer have the necessary authorizations due to changes in their user profile or roles.
  Cause:
  
  Role Changes: The user’s roles may have been modified, and the specific authorization required for the action is no longer assigned.
  Authorization Object Changes: Changes to authorization objects or profiles that affect the user’s access rights.
  User Master Record Updates: Manual changes to the user master record that inadvertently remove necessary authorizations.
  Transport Issues: If roles or authorizations were transported from one system to another, it might lead to inconsistencies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: 
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles for the required actions are present.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Profiles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  This can help identify what specific authorization is required.
  
  
  
  Reassign Authorizations:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to reassign them to the user or modify the roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
