• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RMSRCP117 - You are not authorized to assign class &1 ?

  The SAP error message RMSRCP117, which states "You are not authorized to assign class &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to assign a classification to a material or object in SAP but lacks the necessary authorization to perform that action. This error is related to the authorization checks in the SAP system, specifically regarding the classification of materials or objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to assign the specified class. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Class Restrictions: The class being assigned may have specific restrictions or settings that limit who can assign it.
  User Role Configuration: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the classification transaction.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, a security administrator or SAP Basis consultant should modify the user's roles to include the necessary authorization objects related to classification (e.g., C_CLASS for class assignments).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Class Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the class being assigned to ensure there are no restrictions that prevent the user from assigning it.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in, then attempt the classification assignment again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for classification, such as C_CLASS, which governs access to class assignments.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and classification in SAP.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
