• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_LMCFG_CMI003 - Authorization missing for execution; Object &1, ID &2 ?

  The SAP error message S_LMCFG_CMI003 indicates that there is a missing authorization for executing a specific action related to a configuration management item (CMI). This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an operation for which they do not have the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following factors:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object to execute the action on the specified object (indicated by &1 and &2 in the error message).
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or operation they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object that governs access to the operation is not assigned to the user’s profile.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization was missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the operation being performed.
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the missing authorization objects to the user’s role.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or BASIS team to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  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.
  Test the operation again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
