• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 72279 - You do not have authorization to display attendance quotas ?

  The SAP error message 72279, which states "You do not have authorization to display attendance quotas," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to view attendance quota information in the SAP system. This is often related to the authorization objects that control access to specific functionalities within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user role assigned to you does not include the necessary authorizations to access attendance quota data.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to attendance quotas (e.g., P_ABS_01 for absence management) may not be included in your user profile.
  User Role Configuration: The user roles may not be properly configured to allow access to the required transaction or report.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Contact your SAP security administrator to review your user roles and authorizations. They can check if the necessary roles are assigned to you.
  Authorization Object: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in your user profile. The administrator may need to add the following:
  
  P_ABS_01: This object controls access to attendance quotas.
  
  
  Transaction Codes: If you are trying to access a specific transaction, ensure that your role has the necessary transaction codes assigned.
  Testing: After changes are made, log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. You may also want to test the access in a different environment (like a development or test system) if available.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP support team for more detailed information on the specific authorizations required for attendance quotas.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors.
  Transaction SU53: If you encounter this error, you can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This can provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  User Profile Maintenance: The transaction code SU01 can be used to maintain user profiles and roles, but this should be done by an authorized administrator.
  
  If you continue to experience issues after following these steps, it may be necessary to escalate the matter to your SAP support team for further investigation.
