• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#513 - You do not have change authorization for the assignments of user &1 ?

  The SAP error message S#513 indicates that a user is attempting to make changes to user assignments (such as roles or authorizations) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly controlled for security reasons.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects to change user assignments. This could be due to missing roles or specific authorizations related to user management.
  Role Restrictions: The user may be assigned a role that does not include the necessary permissions to modify user assignments.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be configured correctly to allow for changes in user assignments.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the S#513 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign additional roles that include the required authorizations for user management.
  Ensure that the user has roles that include the authorization objects S_USER_AUTH and S_USER_PRO for user administration tasks.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  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 the action again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for user management, such as:
  
  S_USER_AUTH: Authorization for user master records.
  S_USER_PRO: Authorization for user profiles.
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (to analyze user roles and authorizations)
