• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD083 - No authorization for table &, active version missing ?

  The SAP error message AD083 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific table, and it also mentions that the active version of the table is missing. This error typically arises in the context of data dictionary objects, particularly when dealing with authorization checks for database tables.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user attempting to access the table does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user account.
  Missing Active Version: The table may not have an active version in the system. This can happen if the table has been created but not activated, or if there are issues with the transport of the table definition.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG. Ensure that the necessary roles that include access to the table are assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Activate the Table:
  
  If the table is indeed missing an active version, you may need to activate it. This can be done using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Navigate to the table in question, and check if it is active. If not, activate it.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the table was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport was successful and that all necessary objects were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, it may be necessary to consult your SAP Basis team. They can check for any underlying issues with the database or the transport system.
