• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/AUTH_CHECK003 - User &1 does not have authorization to display business object '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/AUTH_CHECK003 User &1 does not have authorization to display business object '&2' indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific business object in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where authorization checks are strictly enforced to ensure data security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user might not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the business object in question.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific business object.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the business object that limit access based on certain criteria (e.g., company code, plant, etc.).
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile and check the assigned roles and authorizations.
  Review the authorization objects assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary authorizations for the business object are included.
  
  
  
  Review Roles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for the business object.
  If the role does not include the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or assign a different role that has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Analyze the output to identify the missing authorizations and take corrective action.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the access again to ensure that the user can now access the business object without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the authorization issue and implement a solution to resolve the error.
