• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /DSD/SV204 - No list due to lacking authorization ?

  The SAP error message /DSD/SV204 No list due to lacking authorization typically indicates that a user is trying to access a report or transaction in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorizations to view the data or execute the transaction.
  Cause:
  
  Lack of Authorization: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations that are necessary for accessing specific data or transactions.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or report.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, or there may be restrictions based on organizational units or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 or PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or report being accessed.
  If the required roles are missing, you may need to assign them to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the roles are present but do not have the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the transaction or report again.
