• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/CL_CALM_EXM_MSG002 - User '&1' is not authorized ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/CL_CALM_EXM_MSG002 User '&1' is not authorized indicates that the user attempting to perform a certain action does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This error typically arises in the context of SAP applications that utilize the SAP Fiori or S/4HANA environments, particularly when dealing with specific functionalities or transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the specific functionality or transaction.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to specific transactions or data may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary permissions for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This transaction will show you which authorization object was missing.
  Based on the information from SU53, you can determine what additional authorizations are needed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  If the roles are already assigned but do not have the necessary permissions, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the missing authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
