• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRECM00SERVICE015 - No authority to read infotype &1 for subtype &2 ?

  The SAP error message HRECM00SERVICE015 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read a specific infotype for a given subtype. This error typically occurs in the context of Human Resources (HR) modules when a user attempts to access employee data that they are not authorized to view.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to access the specified infotype and subtype. This can happen if the user's role does not include permissions for that specific infotype.
  Incorrect Configuration: The infotype or subtype may not be correctly configured in the system, leading to access issues.
  User Role Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles may have removed access to certain infotypes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the infotype and subtype are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user requires access, you may need to modify their roles to include the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects for HR infotypes include:
  
  P_ORGIN: Organizational Management
  P_PERNR: Personnel Number
  P_TCODE: Transaction Code
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate values for the infotype and subtype in the authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and back in, or refresh their session to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
