• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SROLECMP003 - You have no authorization to save this role ?

  The SAP error message SROLECMP003 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to save a role in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or create a role in the Profile Generator (PFCG) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to save changes to roles. This could be due to missing authorizations in the user's profile or role assignments.
  
  
  Role Ownership: The user may not be the owner of the role they are trying to modify. In SAP, roles can have specific owners, and only those users can make changes to them.
  
  
  Transport Requests: If the role is part of a transport request, the user may not have the necessary permissions to modify roles that are included in transport requests.
  
  
  System Settings: Certain system settings or configurations may restrict access to role modifications.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SROLECMP003 error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Role Ownership:
  
  Verify if the user is the owner of the role. If not, either change the ownership of the role to the user or have the role owner make the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks specific authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the necessary roles or authorizations. Common authorizations needed for role maintenance include:
  
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  S_USER_PRO (User Profile)
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code)
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Settings:
  
  If the role is part of a transport request, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to modify roles within that transport context.
  
  
  
  Consult with SAP Basis or Security Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis or security team to review system settings and configurations that may be affecting role management.
