How To Fix STOBJ153 - RBAM check is either through ACL assoc. or through ACLROOT/ENTRY table

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: STOBJ - Dictionary Structured Objects

• Message number: 153

• Message text: RBAM check is either through ACL assoc. or through ACLROOT/ENTRY table

What causes this issue?

In a BO structure, names for the ACLROOT table and the ACLENTRY table
were entered for the RBAM check. The check entries will then be in these
tables. However, a so-called ACLREF has also been defined - an
association to another BO structure from whose ACLROOT and ACLENTRY
these names can be derived.

System Response

The BO structure cannot be activated due to this lack of uniqueness.

How to fix this error?

Maintain either the ACL association or specify the names for the ACLROOT
and ACLENTRY tables.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STOBJ153 - RBAM check is either through ACL assoc. or through ACLROOT/ENTRY table ?

  The SAP error message STOBJ153 typically relates to issues with the Authorization Check for a specific object, often in the context of the Role-Based Access Management (RBAM) framework. This error indicates that the system is unable to determine the authorization for a user due to issues with the Access Control List (ACL) association or the ACLROOT/ENTRY table.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Incorrect ACL Association: The ACL associated with the user or role may not be correctly defined or may be missing.
  Corrupted or Incomplete ACLROOT/ENTRY Table: The tables that store the ACL information may be corrupted or not properly populated.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object in question.
  Configuration Issues: There may be misconfigurations in the RBAM setup or in the authorization objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check ACL Associations:
  
  Verify that the ACL is correctly associated with the user or role in question. You can do this by navigating to the RBAM configuration and checking the ACL settings.
  Ensure that the ACL is active and properly linked to the relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review ACLROOT/ENTRY Tables:
  
  Check the contents of the ACLROOT and ACLENTRY tables to ensure they are populated correctly. You can use transaction codes like SE11 or SE16 to view the data in these tables.
  If you find inconsistencies or missing entries, you may need to regenerate or reconfigure the ACLs.
  
  
  
  Authorization Checks:
  
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze the authorization checks that failed for the user. This will provide insights into which specific authorizations are missing.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Reconfigure RBAM:
  
  If the issue persists, consider reviewing the overall RBAM configuration. Ensure that all necessary components are correctly set up and that there are no missing links in the authorization chain.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that resolve known issues related to RBAM and ACLs.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the authorization checks again to ensure that the issue has been resolved.
