• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SMB/TI_SCOPING060 - You are not authorized ?

  The SAP error message /SMB/TI_SCOPING060 You are not authorized typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action or access a particular function within the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP S/4HANA Cloud or SAP Business Technology Platform (BTP) when users attempt to access scoping or configuration options.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user role assigned to the user does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the required permissions for the specific transaction or application.
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the way roles and authorizations are configured in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management area (e.g., transaction SU01).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the action. This can be done by checking the documentation or consulting with a security administrator.
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  If roles need to be created or modified, work with your SAP security team to ensure that the roles are properly configured.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
