• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FG706 - You do not have authorization for starting the program ?

  The SAP error message FG706, which states "You do not have authorization for starting the program," typically indicates that the user attempting to execute a particular program or transaction does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object that is needed to execute the program.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include 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 to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
