How To Fix 6G088 - Authorization must be at least &

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: 6G - Messages for System Administration Assistant

• Message number: 088

• Message text: Authorization must be at least &

What causes this issue?

The authorization used is not permitted.

System Response

The authorization suggested by the system was &V1&.
You may not use an authorization below a set value. In the hierarchy
structure, you may define authorizations with a higher value.
This is because you can restrict actions on the expanded nodes using
higher authorizations. The opposite is not useful because users in this
case do not see any partial structures that they are not authorized
for.
The authorizations can be used in the order of <ZK>Project member </>->
<ZK>Project manager </>-> <ZK>Administrator</>. Administrator
authorization is the highest possible authorization.

How to fix this error?

Use at least the system default value.
