• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RM165 - No authorization for: &1 in plant &2 ?

  The SAP error message RM165 "No authorization for: &1 in plant &2" typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action in the SAP system for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This error is often encountered in the context of materials management, production planning, or inventory management, where specific authorizations are required to access or manipulate data related to materials in a particular plant.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization for the specific action they are trying to perform (e.g., creating, changing, or displaying a material).
  Authorization Profile: The user's authorization profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the specified plant.
  Plant-Specific Restrictions: The user may have general authorizations but lacks specific authorizations for the plant in question.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the transaction they are trying to execute.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects (e.g., M_MATE_MAR, M_MATE_WRK, etc.) that are required for the action in the specified plant.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should modify the user's roles or profiles to include the required authorizations.
  This may involve adding the user to a different role that has the necessary permissions or creating a custom role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of their authorization limits and provide training on how to request additional access if needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how authorizations work in SAP is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of roles, profiles, and authorization objects.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
