• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABX_MESSAGES122 - Authorization check for accessing policy &1 is not possible ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABX_MESSAGES122 indicates that there is an authorization issue when trying to access a specific policy in the system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Policy Management or similar modules where access control is enforced based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified policy. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Policy Configuration: The policy itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from accessing it based on their roles or organizational assignments.
  User Role Changes: If there have been recent changes to user roles or authorizations, the user may have lost access to certain policies.
  Transport Issues: If the policy was recently transported from another system, the necessary authorizations may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations for the policy in question.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the required roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for accessing the policy.
  If you are an administrator, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Policy Settings:
  
  Review the settings of the policy to ensure that it is configured to allow access to the appropriate user groups or roles.
  Check if there are any specific restrictions set on the policy that might be causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team to investigate further. They can help analyze the authorization logs and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
