• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR707 - Error in object definition, no authorization for & & ?

  The SAP error message NR707, which states "Error in object definition, no authorization for & &," typically indicates that a user is attempting to access or perform an action on an object (such as a report, transaction, or data) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or modify data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specific object or transaction.
  Authorization Object Configuration: The authorization objects related to the transaction or report may not be properly configured or may not include the necessary permissions for the user role.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Profile Issues: The user’s authorization profile may be incomplete or incorrectly set up.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the relevant authorization objects that are required for the transaction or report. This can be done by checking the documentation or consulting with a security administrator.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, a security administrator should assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  If the roles are already assigned, ensure that they are up to date and include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Profiles:
  
  If the user’s authorization profile is missing necessary authorizations, it may need to be modified to include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the transaction or report again.

  Documentation: Consult SAP documentation or your organization’s SAP security policies for more detailed information on authorization management.
  
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
