• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC042 - User &1 is not assigned to any context ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/AUTH_ACC042 User &1 is not assigned to any context typically occurs in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) when a user attempts to access a function or transaction that requires specific authorizations or contexts, but the user has not been assigned to any relevant context.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Context Assignment: The user has not been assigned to any context in the PLM system. Contexts are used to define the scope of access for users, and without being assigned to a context, the system cannot determine what the user is authorized to do.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the PLM functionalities.
  User Profile Configuration: The user profile may not be properly configured in the system, leading to the absence of context assignments.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign User to Context:
  
  Go to the transaction code PLM_CONTEXT or the relevant transaction for managing user contexts.
  Assign the user to the appropriate context that grants access to the required PLM functionalities.
  Ensure that the context is correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for PLM access.
  
  
  
  Review Context Configuration:
  
  If you have access, review the configuration of the contexts in the PLM system to ensure they are set up correctly and that they include the necessary authorizations for the users.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help verify the user’s roles and contexts and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
