• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ATRAPI100 - Action not possible due to missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message ATRAPI100: Action not possible due to missing authorization typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a specific function.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object that grants permission for the action they are trying to perform.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required permissions.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes to roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  User Status: The user might be in a status that restricts certain actions (e.g., inactive or locked).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Adjust Roles: If the necessary authorization is missing, you may need to adjust the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes, test the action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP security and define the permissions for various actions. Each object has fields that specify the conditions under which the action can be performed.

  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Authorization Check Analysis
  SUIM: User Information System (to analyze user authorizations)
