• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 14451 - No authorization to display snapshots ?

  The SAP error message "14451 No authorization to display snapshots" typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a function or transaction related to snapshots (such as performance snapshots or system monitoring) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to various functions is controlled through authorization objects, and if the user does not have the required permissions, they will encounter this error when trying to display snapshots.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Identify the roles assigned to the user and review the authorizations associated with those roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization object related to displaying snapshots may be S_SNAP or similar. Check if the user has the necessary authorizations for this object.
  You can use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the required authorization objects to the relevant roles and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
