• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CIWB_UI013 - &1 records are filtered out from authorization check, check SU53 ?

  The SAP error message CIWB_UI013 indicates that certain records have been filtered out from an authorization check. This typically occurs when a user does not have the necessary authorizations to access specific data or perform certain actions within the SAP system. The message suggests checking the SU53 transaction for more details on the authorization failure.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations for the specific action or data they are trying to access.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects may not be assigned to the user's role or profile.
  Data Filtering: The system may be configured to filter out records based on specific criteria that the user does not meet due to their authorization settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check SU53: 
  
  After encountering the error, immediately run transaction SU53. This transaction provides a detailed report of the last authorization check that failed, showing which authorization objects were missing.

  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary roles include the required authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
  If roles are missing, you may need to add the necessary authorization objects to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Maintenance:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles to include the missing authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user authorizations in your organization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
