• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HREIC_APPL_VP822 - Owner does not have authorization for employee. Save canceled ?

  The SAP error message HREIC_APPL_VP822 indicates that the user attempting to perform an action does not have the necessary authorization for the specified employee. This typically occurs in the context of HR-related transactions where user permissions are strictly enforced to protect sensitive employee data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to access or modify the employee's data.
  Employee Group/Area Restrictions: The employee may belong to a specific group or area that the user is not authorized to access.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  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 SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary administrative rights, you can adjust the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to HR data access (like P_ORGIN, P_PERNR, etc.) are included in the user's profile.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the employee in question so they can investigate and resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Check Employee Status:
  
  Ensure that the employee's status is active and that there are no restrictions on their record that would prevent access.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
