  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ON006 - Authorization missing for authorization object 'S_DEVELOP' ?

    The SAP error message ON006 indicates that a user is missing the necessary authorization for the authorization object 'S_DEVELOP'. This object is related to development activities in the SAP system, particularly for tasks such as creating or modifying ABAP programs, function modules, and other development objects.

    Cause:

    The error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations related to development activities, but their user profile does not include the necessary permissions. The authorization object 'S_DEVELOP' controls access to development-related functions, and if the user lacks the required authorizations, they will encounter this error.

    Solution:

    To resolve the ON006 error, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for the 'S_DEVELOP' object. Here are the steps to do this:

    1. Identify the User: Determine which user is encountering the error.

    2. Check User Roles: Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile. Check the roles assigned to the user.

    3. Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorizations are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.

    4. Modify Roles: If the user does not have the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for 'S_DEVELOP'. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.

    5. Assign the Role: Once the role is created or modified, assign it to the user in SU01.

    6. Test the Changes: After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
