• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ABAP_AUTHORITY_CHECK010 - &4 Authorizations not restricted for the controller in the test session ?

  The SAP error message ABAP_AUTHORITY_CHECK010 indicates that there is an issue with authorization checks in the ABAP environment. Specifically, the message states that authorizations are not restricted for the controller in the test session. This typically occurs when a user is trying to execute a program or transaction that requires specific authorizations, but the system is unable to validate those authorizations correctly.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user executing the transaction or program does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Test Session Context: The error may arise in a test session (e.g., when using transaction SE80 or SE37) where the system is not able to properly evaluate the authorization checks due to the context of the test session.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly, or the necessary authorization objects may not be included in the roles.
  Profile Issues: There may be issues with the user profile or the way authorizations are defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This transaction provides a detailed report of the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 to ensure that the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to adjust the roles assigned to the user. This can be done in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the roles.
  
  
  
  Testing in Different Contexts:
  
  If the error occurs in a test session, try executing the program or transaction in a normal session instead of a test session to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or profiles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the specific authorization objects that are relevant to the transaction or program being executed. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for those objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the specific authorization objects that are relevant to the transaction or program you are trying to execute. This can often be found in the documentation or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to authorization checks or the ABAP_AUTHORITY_CHECK010 error.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issues leading to the ABAP_AUTHORITY_CHECK010 error message.
