• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_DBG201 - Missing authorization for AMDP Debugger. ?

  The SAP error message AMDP_DBG201 indicates that a user is attempting to access the AMDP (ABAP Managed Database Procedures) Debugger but lacks the necessary authorizations. This error typically arises when a user tries to debug an AMDP procedure without having the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of the AMDP_DBG201 error is the absence of the required authorization object for debugging AMDP procedures. The specific authorization object that controls access to the AMDP Debugger is S_DEVELOP. If the user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile, they will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve the AMDP_DBG201 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization is missing. This transaction will show you the last authorization check that failed.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the AMDP Debugger. The key authorization object is S_DEVELOP. The relevant fields to check include:
  
  ACTVT: Activity (e.g., 01 for Create, 02 for Change, 03 for Display)
  OBJ_NAME: The name of the object (e.g., the name of the AMDP procedure)
  DEVCLASS: Development class (if applicable)
  
  
  You may also need to check for other related authorization objects, such as S_PROGRAM or S_DEVELOP for debugging.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, you may need to assign them to a role that includes the necessary permissions. This can be done through transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After the authorizations have been updated, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to access the AMDP Debugger again.
