• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message P2567 - Not authorized to read Time Management infotypes ?

  The SAP error message P2567, which states "Not authorized to read Time Management infotypes," typically occurs when a user attempts to access certain infotypes related to Time Management (such as attendance, absence, etc.) but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. In SAP, access to various infotypes is controlled by authorization objects, and if a user does not have the required permissions, they will encounter this error when trying to access those infotypes.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed, helping you identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Look for roles that include access to Time Management infotypes (e.g., infotypes 2001, 2002, etc.).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., P_ORGIN, P_TCODE, P_TMGMT) are included in the role with the appropriate activity (e.g., display, change).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, ask the user to log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. They should attempt to access the infotypes again.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can assist in reviewing and updating the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for Time Management, such as:
  
  P_ORGIN: Personnel Administration
  P_TMGMT: Time Management
  
  
  Infotypes: Understand the specific infotypes that are relevant to your organization’s Time Management processes.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the P2567 error and ensure that the user has the necessary access to Time Management infotypes.
