SAP Error Message - Details

• Message class: UMG - Message Class for the Unicode Migration Tool.

• Message number: 325

• Message text: You do not have authorization for this action (see long text).

What causes this issue?

The transactions SPUMG and SUMG use the authorization object S_UMG for
the authorization check.
SAP provides two roles which cover the most important activities:
SAP_UMG_ADMIN_ALL
This role has authorizations for all activities in SPUMG/SUMG including
the maintenance of the system vocabulary and "Reprocess Logs"
(transactions SPUMG, SUMG).
SAP_UMG_VOCAB_ALL
This role has authorizations for the maintenance of the system
vocabulary and the maintenance of the "Reprocess Logs" only.
Ask your system administrator to assign the role SAP_UMG_ADMIN_ALL to
all users which are responsible for the Unicode preparation activities
and post conversion activities.
Asj your system administrator to assign the role SAP_UMG_VOCAB_ALL to
all users which are responsible for the maintenance of the system
vocabulary and "Reprocess Logs".

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

Please note: users having these authorizations can display client
dependent FI and HR related data. If you want to restrict the access to
such data, please create an own profile. An overview about the
authorization objects and fields used is given below.
