• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM093 - No authorization for data import ?

  The SAP error message EM093, which states "No authorization for data import," typically indicates that the user attempting to perform a data import operation does not have the necessary authorizations or permissions to execute that action. This can occur in various contexts, such as during data uploads, migrations, or when using specific SAP transactions that involve data import.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient User Roles: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for data import.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to data import may not be included in the user's profile.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or profiles.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict data imports for certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01).
  Ensure that the user has roles that include data import authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects required for the data import operation. Common objects might include S_DATASET, S_TABU_DIS, or others depending on the context.
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze the authorization check after the error occurs. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user's roles or add the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the changes are tested in a development or quality environment before applying them to production.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific data import process you are attempting. There may be specific requirements or configurations needed.
