• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KE620 - You are not authorized to perform this function ?

  The SAP error message KE620 ("You are not authorized to perform this function") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific transaction or function within the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where security and access control are strictly enforced.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. Authorization objects control access to specific functions in SAP.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations for the transaction or function they are trying to access.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be updated or may not include the necessary permissions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile and roles.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the transaction. This can be done using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs, which shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  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.
  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 issue is resolved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for specific authorization requirements related to the transaction in question.
