• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GB070 - No authorization for this function ?

  The SAP error message GB070 ("No authorization for this function") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action or access a particular function within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a specific operation.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object required for the function.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required actions.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have removed access to certain functions.
  User Status: The user account may be locked or inactive, affecting their ability to perform certain functions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and profiles.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG to add the required authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the changes.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Profiles:
  
  Ensure that the authorization profiles assigned to the user include the necessary permissions for the function they are trying to access.
  
  
  
  User Account Status:
  
  Verify that the user account is active and not locked. This can also be checked in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
