Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MS666 - No authorization to create folders or programs from recording & ?

  The SAP error message MS666 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to create folders or programs from a recording in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to create or modify objects in the SAP system without the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorizations in their user profile to create folders or programs.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.
  System Configuration: There may be restrictions in place at the system level that prevent certain actions from being performed by users without specific authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific permissions are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate access should modify the user’s roles to include the required permissions.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include:
  
  S_PROGRAM: Authorization for program execution.
  S_TCODE: Authorization for transaction codes.
  S_USER_AUTH: Authorization for user management.
  
  
  
  
  
  Request Additional Permissions:
  
  If the user does not have the ability to modify their own roles, they should contact their SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They can then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and roles.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to authorization errors.
