• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SUSR_CERT104 - You are not authorized to read explicit mappings ?

  The SAP error message SUSR_CERT104, which states "You are not authorized to read explicit mappings," typically occurs in the context of user management and authorization checks within the SAP system. This error indicates that the user attempting to access certain mappings or configurations does not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to read explicit mappings in the system. This can happen if the user’s role does not include the necessary permissions.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include access to the specific mappings or transaction codes.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not have been updated to reflect the necessary authorizations after changes were made to the system or user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for reading explicit mappings.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects related to user management include S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, and S_USER_AGR.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust the roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems (e.g., from development to production) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult your SAP security team or administrator to assist in resolving the authorization issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and user management.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to SUSR_CERT104 or user authorizations.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance

  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SUIM: User Information System (for reporting on user authorizations)
