• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD080 - No authorization for object & ?

  The SAP error message AD080 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 occurs due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization for the specified object (e.g., a transaction code, report, or function).
  Authorization Profile Issues: The user's authorization profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the object that limit access based on certain criteria (e.g., company code, plant, etc.).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the AD080 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Profiles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the authorization profiles to include the missing authorizations.
  Ensure that the changes are transported to the relevant environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved. They should attempt the action again to confirm that the authorization error no longer occurs.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
