• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EG890 - You have no authorization for &1 ?

  The SAP error message EG890, which states "You have no authorization for &1," typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a transaction, report, or object for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. The "&1" placeholder usually represents the specific object or transaction that the user is trying to access.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the required authorization object assigned in their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user’s roles may not include the necessary permissions to access the specific transaction or object.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required authorizations.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may have restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., company code, plant) that prevent access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned to the user.
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is missing. This can be done by checking the details in the SU53 output or by consulting with your security team.
  Once identified, ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for that authorization object.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction or object again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
