  The SAP error message IBAUTH003 indicates that a user does not have the necessary display authorization for a specific IBase (Installation Base) category and authorization group. This typically occurs when a user attempts to access or display information related to an IBase category for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specified IBase category and authorization group.
  Authorization Group Configuration: The authorization group associated with the IBase category may not be correctly configured or assigned to the user.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the IBase category in question.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IBAUTH003 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show you which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations for the IBase category and authorization group.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured to include the necessary authorization objects, such as I_AUTH (for IBase authorization).
  
  
  
  Modify Role Configuration:
  
  If you have access, you can modify the role in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorizations for the IBase category.
  Make sure to include the relevant authorization objects and values that correspond to the IBase category and authorization group.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  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 error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects related to IBase management, such as I_AUTH, which governs access to IBase categories.
