• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_AU_AUTHORIZATION010 - User does not have authorization. Trace on the Auth.Check (TA ST01) ?

  The SAP error message ESH_AU_AUTHORIZATION010 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action or access a particular resource within the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of the Enterprise Search (ESH) or other applications that require specific authorizations.
  Cause
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that grant access to the specific transaction or function.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile Issues: The authorization profiles assigned to the user may not include the required permissions.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: The user may not have access to certain organizational levels (e.g., company codes, plants) that are required for the action.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the issue, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Verify if the necessary roles that include the required authorization objects are assigned.
  
  
  
  Analyze Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into the specific authorization object that is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks. Enable the trace, reproduce the error, and then analyze the trace results to identify the missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction code PFCG. Add the necessary authorization objects to the relevant roles and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
