  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message I4181 - You have no authorization for &1 (&2) ?

    The SAP error message I4181 ("You have no authorization for &1 (&2)") indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action or access a resource for which they do not have the necessary authorization. The placeholders &1 and &2 typically represent the specific object or action that the user is trying to access.

    Cause:
