• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP000 - Authorization of &1 user in system &2 failed ?

  The SAP error message SCTS_DIST_CTL_OVERLP000 indicates that there is an authorization issue related to the user specified in the message. This error typically occurs in the context of distributed control or transport management in SAP systems, particularly when a user attempts to perform actions that require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error message is triggered when the system checks the authorization of the specified user (&1) in the specified system (&2) and finds that the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the requested action. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required roles or authorizations in the target system.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow the necessary actions.
  Transport Management Configuration: There may be issues with the transport management configuration that restrict access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Log in to the target system (&2) as a user with sufficient administrative privileges.
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user profile of the specified user (&1).
  Verify that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  You may need to consult with your SAP security team to determine which roles are required.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the specific authorization objects that are relevant to the action being performed. This can be done using transaction code SU53 after the error occurs, which shows the last failed authorization check.
  
  
  
  Transport Management Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the transport management system (TMS) is correctly configured and that the user has the necessary permissions to perform transport-related activities.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
