• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OQ_B201 - You are not authorized to access with this selection ?

  The SAP error message OQ_B201, which states "You are not authorized to access with this selection," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action or access the data they are trying to reach. This can occur in various SAP transactions, especially when dealing with sensitive data or specific functionalities.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction or data selection.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific authorization objects may restrict access based on criteria such as company code, plant, or other organizational units.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, or the user may not be assigned to the correct roles.
  Transaction-Specific Restrictions: Some transactions have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations beyond the standard roles.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are causing the issue. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can review and adjust the roles as needed.
  Transaction Codes: If the error occurs in a specific transaction, check if there are any specific transaction codes that require additional authorizations.
  Testing in a Different Environment: If possible, test the same action in a different environment (like a development or test system) where you might have broader access to see if the issue persists.
