• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /INCMD/MSG423 - You do not have the authorisation for this action ?

  The SAP error message /INCMD/MSG423 indicating "You do not have the authorization for this action" typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or modify data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorization objects required for the action they are trying to perform.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the specific transaction or action.
  User Status: The user might be in a status that restricts certain actions (e.g., inactive or locked).
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on organizational units or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by navigating to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after receiving the error to see which authorization objects are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Test Authorizations: After changes are made, test the user’s access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  Consult Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
