• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BS059 - No authorization for activating user status & ?

  The SAP error message BS059 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to activate a user status in the system. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to change the status of an object (like a project, order, or other business objects) but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile to activate the specific user status.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or object type they are trying to modify.
  User Status Configuration: The user status itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from activating it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for activating user statuses.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorization objects, such as I_S_USER_AUTH or any specific authorization objects related to the user status management.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Review User Status Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the user status itself to ensure that it is not restricted for certain user groups or roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the user can now activate the user status without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control user status management. Common objects include:
  
  I_S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization)
  I_S_USER_STAT (User Status Management)
  
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SE93: Transaction Codes
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the BS059 error and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to activate user statuses in SAP.
