• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /GRC/APPL002 - No authorization to access selected cost centers ?

  The SAP error message /GRC/APPL002 No authorization to access selected cost centers typically occurs in the context of SAP Governance, Risk, and Compliance (GRC) applications, particularly when a user attempts to access cost centers for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to access the specified cost centers.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the cost centers in question.
  Cost Center Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions or settings in the GRC application that limit access to certain cost centers based on user roles or organizational structure.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up or may not reflect the current organizational structure.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 authorization logs to identify the specific objects that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the required cost centers. This can be done through transaction PFCG.
  If necessary, create or modify roles to include the required authorization objects (e.g., K_CCA for cost center accounting).
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user needs access to specific cost centers, you may need to adjust the authorization objects in the role to include those cost centers.
  Ensure that the authorization profiles are updated and activated after making changes.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to cost centers include:

  SU53: Display authorization check
  ST01: System trace for authorization checks
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations in GRC.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the authorization error and implement a solution to grant the necessary access to the user.
