- Authorization Object Configuration: The authorization object may not be configured correctly, or the values assigned to the user may not match the required values for the action they are trying to perform.

SU01
to view the user’s authorizations and roles.Review Role Assignments:

Modify Authorization Objects:

Consult with Security Team:
- If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.

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.
