• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ALVHT219 - Download authorization missing. (User &1). ?

  The SAP error message ALVHT219, which states "Download authorization missing. (User &1)," typically occurs when a user attempts to download data from an ALV (ABAP List Viewer) report but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform this action. This is a common issue in SAP systems where security and authorization checks are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the absence of the required authorization object in the user's profile. Specifically, the authorization object that controls download capabilities in ALV reports is usually S_DATA or S_USER_AUTH. If the user does not have the appropriate authorization for the download action, the system will prevent the download and display this error message.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile of the affected user (replace &1 with the actual user ID).
  Go to the "Roles" tab and check the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Look for the authorization object related to ALV downloads, such as S_DATA or S_USER_AUTH.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization to the user's role using transaction code PFCG.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the addition of the required authorization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the necessary authorizations have been added, ask the user to attempt the download again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
