How To Fix TA015 - No authorization for client copy

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TA - Extended table maintenance (eval., Customizing, client copy)

• Message number: 015

• Message text: No authorization for client copy

What causes this issue?

An authorization check based on the following authorizations has been
introduced for the use of the Client Copy tool.
You must always have the following authorizations:
Authorization for the Client Copy tool (S_CLNT_IMP)
Authorization for cross-client table maintenance (S_TABU_CLI).

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

This restricts copying all table contents from a source client into the
current client, to persons who are authorized to make cross-client
changes to table contents. Anyone who wants to maintain cross-client
tables needs this authorization.
Maintenance authorization for table CCCFLOW (S_TABU_DIS)
This table contains Client Copy control information.
Log file write authorization (S_DATASET_AL)
The following authorizations are always checked, but the check is only
effective if relevant data is to be copied:
User maintenance authorization (S_USER_GRP)
Authorization profile maintenance authorization (S_USER_PRO)
Role maintenance authorization (S_USER_AGR)
The following authorizations are checked as required:
Authorization in the source client for remote copies (S_TABU_RFC)
Authorization to create a transport request (S_TRANSPRT)

How to fix this error?

Get the required authorization(s) from your system administrator and
restart the copy.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA015 - No authorization for client copy ?

  The SAP error message TA015, which states "No authorization for client copy," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform a client copy operation without having the necessary authorizations. This error is related to the security and authorization settings within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the TA015 error is that the user does not have the required authorizations to execute a client copy. Client copy operations are sensitive and can affect the entire system, so SAP restricts access to these operations to users with specific roles and authorizations.
  Solution:
  To resolve the TA015 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for client copy operations. The relevant authorization objects typically include:
  
  S_CTS_ADMI (Client Administration)
  S_CTS_CPY (Client Copy)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the required permissions. This can be done by a system administrator or a user with the appropriate authorization to modify roles.
  
  
  
  Use Transaction Code PFCG:
  
  If you have access, you can use transaction code PFCG to create or modify roles. Ensure that the role assigned to the user includes the necessary authorization objects for client copy.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or BASIS team. They can help review and adjust the user's authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt the client copy operation again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
