• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EE_AMI_EM020 - No authorization to view event with type code &1 and severity code &2 ?

  The SAP error message EE_AMI_EM020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to view a specific event in the system. The message includes placeholders for the event type code (&1) and severity code (&2), which provide additional context about the specific event the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's role or profile to view the specified event type and severity. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow access to the event types.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the required authorizations.
  Event Configuration: The event type and severity may be configured in such a way that only certain users or roles can access them.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the authorization objects related to event management (e.g., S_EVENT, S_TCODE, etc.).
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test to see if the user can now access the event without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Management: Understanding how SAP handles authorizations is crucial. Familiarize yourself with the concepts of roles, profiles, and authorization objects.
  Event Management Configuration: If you are responsible for configuring events, ensure that the settings align with your organization’s access policies.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization objects and event management.
