  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/AUT002 - Authorization check performed for user ID &1 ?

    The SAP error message /BCV/AUT002 Authorization check performed for user ID &1 typically indicates that an authorization check has been executed for a specific user ID, and the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform a certain action or access a specific transaction or data.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile to perform the action they are attempting.
    2. Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or data access.
    3. Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the necessary authorization objects may not be included in the assigned roles.
    4. Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have removed necessary permissions.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile and check the roles assigned to the user.
      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the last authorization check and see which authorization object is missing.
    2. Review Roles and Profiles:

      • Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects are included in the roles.
      • If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary permissions.
    3. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP authorization checks. Each object defines a set of fields that must be checked to determine if a user has the necessary permissions.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the authorization error and implement a solution to resolve it.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
