• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON020 - No authorization to access compliance object ?

  The SAP error message CM_EHPRC_COD_COMMON020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a compliance object in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Environment, Health, and Safety (EHS) or Compliance Management modules, where users need specific permissions to view or manipulate compliance-related data.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user role may not include the necessary authorization objects that grant access to the compliance object.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required permissions.
  Changes in Compliance Objects: If compliance objects have been modified or new ones added, existing roles may not automatically include access to these new objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorization objects, you may need to modify the user’s role in PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the role has the appropriate authorizations for the compliance object in question. This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to compliance management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you assess and update the roles as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access to the compliance object again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
