• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 32011 - You are not authorized to read infotype & ?

  The SAP error message 32011, "You are not authorized to read infotype &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a specific infotype in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations. Infotypes are data structures in SAP that store specific types of information related to personnel, such as personal data, organizational assignments, and payroll information.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role or profile to access the specified infotype. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that grant access to the infotype.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes access to the required infotype.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be properly configured to allow access to the infotype.
  Infotype Configuration: The infotype itself may have restrictions set up that limit access based on user roles or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify that the user lacks the necessary authorization, you may need to modify the user’s role or create a new role that includes the required authorization objects for the infotype.
  Common authorization objects for infotypes include P_ORGIN (Personnel Administration) and P_PERNR (Personnel Number).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for personnel administration, such as P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, and others that may pertain to the specific infotype.
  SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization management and infotype configuration.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  PA20: Display HR Master Data (to check infotype access)
  
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue related to the SAP error message 32011.
