• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_CP141 - User &1 does not have &2 authorization to access file ?

  The SAP error message /ISDFPS/PM_CP141 User &1 does not have &2 authorization to access file indicates that a user is attempting to access a file or resource for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with file access permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile to access the specified file.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  File Permissions: The file itself may have restrictions or permissions set that prevent access by certain users or roles.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the SAP system that are preventing the user from accessing the file.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorization object is identified, you may need to assign it to the user’s role or profile. This can be done in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review File Permissions:
  
  If the file is stored on a file system, check the file permissions at the operating system level to ensure that the user or the group the user belongs to has access to the file.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
