• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message HRPADBE_ABSENCES026 - Infotype & cannot be read because of authorization issues. (& & &) ?

  The SAP error message HRPADBE_ABSENCES026 indicates that there are authorization issues preventing access to a specific infotype (in this case, related to absences) for a user. This typically occurs in the Human Capital Management (HCM) module of SAP when a user tries to access or modify employee absence data but lacks the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required authorization roles assigned to access the specific infotype (e.g., Infotype 2001 for Absences).
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (such as P_ORGIN, P_ABS, etc.) may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  Organizational Levels: The user may not have access to the organizational units or personnel areas associated with the infotype data they are trying to access.
  User Profile: The user profile may not be set up correctly, leading to insufficient access rights.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, use transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and check if the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the required infotype.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects and values for the infotype in question.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., P_ABS for absence management) to ensure that the user has the correct permissions for the actions they are trying to perform (e.g., display, create, change).
  
  
  
  Organizational Level Access:
  
  Ensure that the user has access to the relevant organizational units or personnel areas. This can be checked in the user’s profile or roles.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. They should attempt to access the infotype again.
