• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FOX0090 - No authorization to display Customizing ?

  The SAP error message FOX0090 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display customizing settings in the system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access configuration settings or transaction codes that require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. The user may not have the required permissions to view or modify customizing settings in the SAP system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects related to customizing.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the required authorizations.
  Profile Restrictions: The user’s profile may have restrictions that prevent access to certain customizing transactions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the FOX0090 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID and click on the "Roles" tab to see the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can check the user’s authorizations in transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to see if the necessary authorization objects are included in the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization objects are missing, you may need to modify the roles using transaction code PFCG.
  Add the necessary authorization objects related to customizing (e.g., S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, etc.) to the role.
  
  
  
  Assign Correct Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the correct roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for customizing.
  
  
  
  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 test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
