• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV790 - You are not authorized to maintain queries ?

  The SAP error message AQV790, which states "You are not authorized to maintain queries," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to create, modify, or delete queries in the SAP system. This error is often encountered when working with SAP Query or SAP InfoSet Query.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to maintain queries. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  User Role Configuration: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include query maintenance capabilities.
  System Configuration: There may be restrictions set at the system level that prevent certain users from accessing query maintenance functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  Work with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned. Common authorization objects related to query maintenance include:
  
  S_QUERY: This object controls access to SAP Query.
  S_USER_AUTH: This object may also be relevant depending on the specific query functions being accessed.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific queries they need to maintain.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user needs to maintain queries, ensure that their role includes the necessary transaction codes (like SQ01, SQ02, SQ03) and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
