  The SAP error message "61402 No authorization for &" typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action or access a resource for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. The "&" symbol in the message usually represents the specific object or action that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate role assigned that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Object Configuration: The authorization object may not be correctly configured in the system.
  User Status: The user might be locked or inactive, which can also lead to authorization issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Analyze the output to identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the necessary authorization objects to the role and then assign the updated role to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
