• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C684 - Referring to account '&1', no authorization is defined for you ?

  The SAP error message 5C684 indicates that a user is attempting to access an account for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This error typically arises in the context of financial transactions, such as posting to a specific account in the General Ledger (G/L) or during the execution of certain financial reports.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to access or perform actions on the specified account. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the required authorization object that governs access to the account.
  Account Restrictions: The account may have specific restrictions that limit access to certain users or roles.
  Profile Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access to the account.
  Client-Specific Settings: The error may also arise from client-specific settings that restrict access to certain accounts.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s role to include the required authorization object. This can be done in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate authorization for the account in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
