• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR080 - Not all MeasPoints can be displayed because of a lack of authorization ?

  The SAP error message IR080 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to view all measurement points (MeasPoints) in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Plant Maintenance (PM) or Industry Solution (IS) modules, where measurement points are used to track various metrics related to equipment and processes.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user role trying to access the measurement points. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user role may not have the required authorization objects assigned to it, which are necessary to view or manage measurement points.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include access to the specific measurement points or the related transactions.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (like plant, location, etc.) that limit access to certain measurement points.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IR080 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to measurement points include:
  
  I_MESPOINT (for measurement point management)
  I_MESPOINT_AUTH (for authorization checks on measurement points)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary activity authorizations (like display, change, etc.) for the relevant transactions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details from the SU53 analysis to help them understand what needs to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.

  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and their usage in the context of measurement points.
  Best Practices: Regularly review user roles and authorizations to ensure they align with business needs and security policies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the IR080 error and ensure that users have the appropriate access to measurement points in SAP.
