  The SAP error message DAAG_PARTITIONING021 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access the Partition Management functionality in SAP. This typically occurs when a user attempts to view or manage partitioning settings for database tables but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization. In SAP, access to various functionalities is controlled through roles and authorizations. If a user tries to access Partition Management without the appropriate role or authorization object, they will encounter this error.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. You can do this by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  The user needs to have the necessary authorizations to access Partition Management. This typically involves the following authorization objects:
  
  S_TABU_CLI: Authorization for table maintenance.
  S_TABU_DIS: Authorization for displaying tables.
  S_TABU_NAM: Authorization for table names.
  
  
  You may need to consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include these authorizations.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user does not have the required roles, you can either assign them the necessary roles or create a custom role that includes the required authorizations for Partition Management.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test to see if the user can access Partition Management without encountering the error.
