• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS_R2MR_SU033 - You are not authorized to create the synchronization unit ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/AL_GSS_R2MR_SU033 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create a synchronization unit in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or similar applications where synchronization units are used for managing system landscapes.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user account attempting to create the synchronization unit lacks the required authorizations. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transaction codes or object authorizations related to synchronization units.
  System Configuration: There may be specific configurations or restrictions set up in the system that limit who can create synchronization units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary permissions are included.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include permissions for creating synchronization units.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_TCODE (for transaction codes) and specific objects related to the application area.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources related to the specific application (e.g., SAP Landscape Management) to identify the required authorizations for creating synchronization units.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
