• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S#590 - No authorization to copy authorization objects from role & ?

  The SAP error message S#590 indicates that a user is attempting to copy authorization objects from a role but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This error typically arises in the context of role management and authorization assignments within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorizations to access or copy the authorization objects from the specified role. This can happen due to:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile to copy roles or authorization objects.
  Role Restrictions: The role from which the user is trying to copy may have restrictions or specific authorizations that prevent copying.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, etc.) that allow them to perform role management tasks.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the S#590 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user's current authorizations using transaction code SU53 after the error occurs. This will show what authorizations are missing.
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user's profile and roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign them roles that include the required authorizations for copying roles and authorization objects.
  Common roles that may be needed include those related to role administration, such as SAP_ALL (for testing purposes only) or specific roles that grant access to role management.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the role from which the user is trying to copy has specific restrictions, consider modifying the role to allow copying or granting the necessary authorizations to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user attempt to copy the authorization objects again to ensure the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functions and data. Each object has fields that define the specific authorizations required.
  Role Management: Role management in SAP is crucial for ensuring that users have the appropriate access to perform their job functions while maintaining security and compliance.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (for reporting on authorizations)
