• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_AUX_010019 - You only have authorization '&2' and not '&1'. ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_AUX_010019 indicates an authorization issue when using the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. The message typically states that the user has a certain level of authorization (&2) but lacks the required authorization (&1) to perform a specific action or access a particular function.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user trying to execute a task in LSMW. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Changes in authorization objects or roles that have not been updated for the user.
  The user is trying to access a transaction or function that requires higher privileges than what they currently possess.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Required Authorizations:
  
  Check the specific authorization object that corresponds to &1 in the error message. This will give you insight into what permissions are needed.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if the required authorization is included.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to add the necessary role that includes the required authorizations.
  This can be done by a user with the appropriate administrative rights (usually a security administrator).
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After updating the user’s roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Attempt to perform the action again in LSMW to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which authorizations are needed or how to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide guidance on the necessary authorizations and help ensure compliance with security policies.
