• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BEV1/EMC705 - Operator cannot be &; maintain authorization matrix in Customizing ?

  The SAP error message /BEV1/EMC705 Operator cannot be &; maintain authorization matrix in Customizing typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to maintain the authorization matrix in the Customizing settings of the SAP system. This error is related to the authorization checks that are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate permissions can make changes to critical configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user attempting to access the authorization matrix does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary transactions or authorization objects needed to maintain the authorization matrix.
  Customizing Settings: The system may have specific customizing settings that restrict access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations for maintaining the authorization matrix.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects, such as /BEV1/EMC or any other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Configuration:
  
  If the roles are correctly assigned but the user still encounters the error, check the configuration of the roles in PFCG to ensure that they include the necessary transactions and authorizations.
  You may need to add specific authorization objects or adjust the existing ones to grant the required access.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific authorization matrix and the required authorizations for the relevant transactions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to the authorization matrix. This may include objects specific to the module or functionality you are working with.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error message.
  Security Best Practices: Ensure that your organization follows best practices for user authorizations to minimize the risk of unauthorized access while allowing necessary access for users to perform their tasks.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to engage with your SAP Basis or Security team for further investigation.
