• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2020 - You have no authorization to create this object ?

  The SAP error message E2020, which states "You have no authorization to create this object," typically indicates that the user attempting to perform an action does not have the necessary permissions to create a specific object in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to create a new record, document, or configuration object.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects required for the action are not assigned to the user.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured or may not include the necessary transactions or objects.
  Client-Specific Settings: The user may have the correct authorizations in one client but not in another, especially in systems with multiple clients.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for specific authorization objects related to the action being performed.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are specific checks that SAP performs to determine if a user has the right to perform certain actions. Common authorization objects include S_TCODE (Transaction Code), S_USER_AUTH (User Authorization), and others depending on the context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SU53 - Display Authorization Check
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to authorization errors.
  Security Audits: Regularly perform security audits to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels and that roles are correctly configured.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
