• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FES005 - No authorization ?

  The SAP error message FES005 ("No authorization") typically indicates that a user does not have the necessary permissions to perform a specific action or access a particular transaction within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a function that requires specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user might not be assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not include the required permissions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to display the last authorization check. This will help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Authorization Profile Adjustment: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, an administrator can adjust the authorization profile or role assignments accordingly.
  Consult with Security Team: If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to review and adjust 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.
