  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EL485 - You do not have authorization for all transferred &2 ?

    The SAP error message EL485, which states "You do not have authorization for all transferred &2," typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action or access data for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a specific function within the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile for the specific action or data they are trying to access.
    2. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data.
    3. Data Restrictions: The user may have access to certain data but not to all the data being transferred or processed in the transaction.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
      • Review the authorization logs to identify which specific authorizations are lacking.
    2. Review User Roles:

      • Go to transaction code SU01 to check the user’s profile and the roles assigned to them.
      • Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the actions the user is trying to perform.
    3. Modify Roles:

      • If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction code PFCG to add the required authorization objects.
      • If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization to request the necessary changes.
    4. Testing:

      • After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
      • Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP security and define what actions a user can perform on specific data.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check) for managing user authorizations.
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.

    If the problem persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or a deeper analysis of the system configuration.
