• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY014 - No registry maintenance authorization (&1) ?

  The SAP error message SCODELIST_REGISTRY014 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action related to the registry maintenance of code lists but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This error typically arises in the context of managing code lists in SAP systems, particularly in the areas of data governance and compliance.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization for the user role attempting to access or modify the code lists. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for registry maintenance.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transactions or functions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SCODELIST_REGISTRY014 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for code list registry maintenance.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorization object is missing, you may need to add it to the user’s role. Common authorization objects related to code list maintenance include:
  
  S_CODELIST (for code list maintenance)
  S_TCODE (for transaction code access)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary activity authorizations (like create, change, display) for the relevant code lists.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt the action again to see if the error persists.
