• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X036 - No authorization to create synchronization units ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/GSS_R2X036 No authorization to create synchronization units typically indicates that the user attempting to create synchronization units in the SAP system does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. 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 lacks the required authorization objects to create synchronization units.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions.
  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 encountering the error to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for creating synchronization units.
  If the roles are missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If you identify the missing authorization objects from the SU53 output, you can add them to the relevant role in PFCG.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  Specific authorization objects related to the application or module you are working with.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to create the synchronization units again.
