Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT009 - Standard user: User has Write authorization for type &1, obj. &2 ?

  The SAP error message /S4PPM/USER_MEASMENT009 indicates that a standard user does not have the necessary write authorization for a specific object type and object ID. This error typically arises in the context of SAP S/4HANA Project and Portfolio Management (PPM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires write access to a particular object.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to perform write operations on the specified object type (&1) and object ID (&2). This can happen due to:
  
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate role that includes write permissions for the object type in question.
  Authorization Object: The authorization object related to the specific action may not be configured correctly, or the user may lack the necessary authorizations within that object.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up to allow write access to the required object types.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the object type in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, etc.) to ensure that the user has the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects and values to the role and then assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
