• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWXBE/CORE081 - Missing authorization; authority check for object '&1' failed ?

  The SAP error message /IWXBE/CORE081 Missing authorization; authority check for object '&1' failed indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with transactions or reports that require specific permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the lack of authorization for a specific object, which is indicated by the placeholder &1 in the error message. This object could be related to various SAP components, such as:
  
  Authorization objects (e.g., S_TCODE for transaction codes)
  Specific application authorizations (e.g., for accessing certain data or performing certain actions)
  Missing roles or profiles assigned to the user
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Authorization Object:
  
  Check the error message for the specific authorization object that is missing (the actual object will replace &1).
  You can also use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
  
  
  
  Check User Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to display the user profile and check the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorization, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorization objects. You can add the missing authorization object to the relevant role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  Test the transaction or action that previously caused the error.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
  Authorization Objects: Understand the specific authorization objects relevant to your SAP environment. You can find more information in the SAP documentation or by consulting with your security team.
  Audit Logs: Review audit logs or authorization logs to identify patterns or recurring issues related to authorization failures.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the error message /IWXBE/CORE081.
