• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC003 - User &1 is not authorized to perform this action ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC003 User &1 is not authorized to perform this action indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user might not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have removed the necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user is missing the required authorization, you may need to modify the roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the necessary authorization 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 for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, test the action again to ensure that the user can now perform the required action without encountering the error.
