• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EML026 - Missing authorization ?

  The SAP error message EML026, which indicates "Missing authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP modules, including but not limited to SAP ERP, SAP S/4HANA, and SAP BW.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The specific authorization objects required for the transaction are not assigned to the user’s profile.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have the correct roles assigned in their user profile.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have removed necessary permissions.
  Client-Specific Settings: The authorization settings may vary by client, and the user may have the necessary authorizations in one client but not in another.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Authorization Trace: If needed, you can use transaction code ST01 to perform an authorization trace to see which authorizations are being checked and which are failing.
  Role Adjustment: If the user is missing the required authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
