• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S05023 - You are not authorized to create a landscape ?

  The SAP error message S05023, which states "You are not authorized to create a landscape," typically indicates that the user attempting to create a landscape in the SAP system does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions to perform this action.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the required roles or authorizations in the SAP system to create a landscape.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary permissions for landscape creation.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be configured correctly to allow for landscape management tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has roles that include permissions for landscape management, such as SAP_BC_LANDSCAPE_ADMIN or similar roles that grant landscape creation rights.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles to the user. This can be done by an administrator with the necessary permissions.
  If the roles are already assigned but the user still cannot create a landscape, you may need to review the authorization objects associated with those roles to ensure they include the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to 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 to create the landscape again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control landscape management. Common objects include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes) and others specific to landscape management.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on roles and authorizations related to landscape management.
  Transaction Codes: Useful transaction codes for managing user roles and authorizations include:
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SUIM - User Information System (to check authorizations)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the S05023 error and enable the user to create a landscape in the SAP system.
