  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UKM_DCD_MSG128 - Workflow user has no write authorization for &1. ?

    The SAP error message UKM_DCD_MSG128 indicates that the workflow user does not have the necessary write authorization for a specific object or entity represented by &1. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP's Risk Management or Workflow Management, particularly when a user attempts to perform an action that requires write access but lacks the appropriate permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user executing the workflow does not have the required authorization to write to the specified object (e.g., a table, a document, or a specific transaction).
    2. Role Configuration: The user's role may not be configured correctly to include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
    3. Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object that prevent the user from making changes, even if they have general write permissions.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will show you which specific authorization object is missing.
      • Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's roles and authorizations.
    2. Review Role Assignments:

      • Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include write access to the relevant objects. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to adjust the roles accordingly.
    3. Modify Authorizations:

      • If the user is missing specific authorizations, you can either add the necessary authorizations to their existing role or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
      • Make sure to include the relevant authorization objects that govern write access for the specific transaction or object.
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to the user's authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect.
      • Test the workflow again to confirm that the error has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control write access in your SAP environment. Common objects include S_TABU_DIS for table access and S_USER_AUTH for user authorizations.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to this error message or provide additional guidance on authorization management.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with best practices in managing user permissions.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for further investigation.
