• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 9J291 - No authorization for object &. &/&/& ?

  The SAP error message 9J291 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization for a specific object. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error message "No authorization for object &. &/&/&" suggests that the user is trying to access a specific authorization object (represented by the placeholders) but does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile. The placeholders usually represent the following:
  
  The name of the authorization object.
  The fields associated with that object.
  The values that the user is trying to access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Authorization Object: 
  
  Check the error message for the specific authorization object name and the fields that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Review User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and check the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Check Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.

  Modify Roles if Necessary:
  
  If the roles are assigned but do not include the required authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG to add the missing authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
