• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B036 - No authorization to create synchronization units ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2B036 No authorization to create synchronization units typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to create synchronization units in the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Landscape Management (LaMa) or similar applications where synchronization units are used for managing system landscapes.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the action does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for creating synchronization units.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow for the creation of synchronization units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  Identify the required roles that include the necessary authorizations for creating synchronization units. This may involve consulting with your SAP security team or reviewing documentation related to the specific application.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  S_PLMI_* (Specific to Landscape Management)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required roles are not assigned, you may need to assign them to the user. If they are assigned but missing specific authorizations, you may need to modify the roles to include the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  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.
  Attempt to create the synchronization unit again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this specific error message.
  Documentation: Review the SAP documentation for Landscape Management or the specific module you are working with to understand the authorization requirements better.
  Security Team: Collaborate with your SAP security team to ensure that the authorization model is correctly implemented and that users have the appropriate access levels.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to conduct a more in-depth analysis of the authorization setup or consult SAP support for further assistance.
