• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1188 - No authorization &2 for data model &1 ?

  The SAP error message USMD1188 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific data model in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when a user attempts to perform an action on a data model for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access or modify the specified data model. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The user is not assigned to the appropriate roles that grant access to the data model.
  The authorization objects related to the data model are not properly configured.
  The user’s profile has been changed, removing necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the USMD1188 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the correct roles assigned that include access to the data model in question. You can do this by checking the user’s profile in transaction code SU01.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that control access to the data model. Common authorization objects for MDG include:
  
  S_MDG_AUTH (MDG Authorization)
  S_MDG_DATA (MDG Data Model Authorization)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations within these objects.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the action that previously resulted in the error.
