Symptom
You are trying to create a competitor and you are facing the message "You are not authorized to create this competitor"; you wonder why since your access restrictions seem to allow this.
Environment
SAP Sales Cloud
Reproducing the Issue
- Login with user ABC (where ABC is a business user in the system with a business role DEF assigned)
- Go to the Competitors work center.
- Select the Competitors work center view.
- Click in the + icon.
- Fill in the required fields.
- Save and open.
- Message appears.
Cause
The business role DEF has, for COD_COMPETITOR_WCV work center view, Restriction Rule as '1 - Sales Organization of Employee'. In step 4 you do not see the field 'sales organization' as visible to fill in information.
Resolution
Either you change the restriction rule 1 to another one OR you enable via adaptation mode the field 'sales organization' in quick create view of competitors.
