• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BSNAGT/MESSAGE223 - You are not authorized to display MBC Messages (auth object FILE_MONI) ?

  The SAP error message /BSNAGT/MESSAGE223 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to display MBC (Message-Based Communication) messages. This is related to the authorization object FILE_MONI, which controls access to monitoring files and messages in the system.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to access MBC messages without having the required authorization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing or insufficient authorizations assigned to the user role.
  The user role not being properly configured to include the necessary permissions for the FILE_MONI authorization object.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are lacking.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Check if the role includes the necessary authorizations for the FILE_MONI object.
  
  
  
  Modify Role:
  
  If the role does not include the required authorization, you can modify the role:
  
  Open the role in PFCG.
  Go to the "Authorizations" tab.
  Click on "Change Authorization Data."
  Add the FILE_MONI authorization object and assign the necessary values (e.g., activity codes like 03 for display).
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are in a development environment, ensure that any changes made to roles are transported to the production environment if necessary.
  
  
  
  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.
