    The SAP error message GZ390 is related to authorization validation, specifically indicating that there is an issue with the user's authorization to perform a certain action or access specific data within the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a transaction or access a report for which they do not have the necessary permissions.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specific transaction or report.
    2. Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
    3. Authorization Object: The authorization object related to the transaction may not be properly configured or may be missing the necessary values.
    4. Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be updated or may not include the latest changes in authorization settings.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
      • Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
    2. Update Roles:

      • If the user is missing the necessary authorizations, you may need to update their roles in PFCG to include the required authorization objects.
      • Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user.
    3. Authorization Object Configuration:

      • Check the configuration of the relevant authorization objects to ensure they are set up correctly and that the necessary values are included.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the authorization issues.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance
    • Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the specific authorization objects related to the transaction you are trying to access. This can often be found in the documentation or by consulting with your SAP security team.
