  The SAP error message "01803 No authorization to display critical transaction combinations" typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a transaction or a combination of transactions for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This is a security measure in SAP to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Critical Transaction Combinations: The transaction being accessed is considered critical, and SAP has predefined combinations that require specific authorizations.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the transaction in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the critical transactions.

  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. Common authorization objects related to transaction access include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes) and S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate values assigned to these authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in granting the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
