• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SACM_DCLS017 - The Authorization Check Mode does not allow access control by DCL ?

  The SAP error message SACM_DCLS017 indicates that the authorization check mode configured in your system does not permit access control through Data Control Language (DCL). This typically occurs when the system is set to a mode that does not support DCL-based authorization checks.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Check Mode: The system is configured to use an authorization check mode that does not support DCL. This can happen if the mode is set to a more restrictive setting that does not allow for DCL checks.
  DCL Configuration: The Data Control Language (DCL) might not be properly configured for the specific object or entity you are trying to access.
  User Roles: The user attempting to access the data may not have the necessary roles or permissions assigned that would allow DCL checks to be applied.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Authorization Check Mode:
  
  Go to the transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the user profile.
  Review the authorization check mode settings in the relevant configuration (e.g., transaction RSECADMIN for BW or RSEC for other applications).
  Ensure that the authorization check mode is set to allow DCL checks. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team to adjust these settings.
  
  
  
  Review DCL Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the DCL is properly defined for the object you are trying to access. You can check this in the transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE38 (ABAP Editor) to see if the DCL is correctly implemented.
  Make sure that the DCL is activated and that the necessary authorizations are assigned to the relevant roles.
  
  
  
  User Role Assignment:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for DCL checks.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or modify existing roles to include the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the access again to ensure that the error is resolved.
