• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ202 - No authorization to run report &1 for location &2 ?

  The SAP error message OQ202 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to run a specific report for a given location. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data and functions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations that are necessary to execute the report.
  Location-Specific Restrictions: The authorization may be restricted to certain locations, and the user may not have access to the location specified in the error message.
  Role Changes: If there have been recent changes to user roles or authorizations, the user may have lost access to the necessary permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the report.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the required authorization object is missing, you may need to assign the appropriate role that includes the necessary authorizations for the report and location.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned.
  
  
  
  Location-Specific Authorizations:
  
  If the report is location-specific, ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for that specific location. This may involve adding location-specific authorizations to the user’s role.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to run the report again to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to user roles and authorizations for future reference and compliance.
