• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PAD_SE_PROXY012 - No read authorization for infotype &1 for personnel number &2 ?

  The SAP error message PAD_SE_PROXY012 indicates that there is no read authorization for a specific infotype for a given personnel number. This typically occurs in the context of HR (Human Resources) data access, where the system is trying to retrieve information from a specific infotype (like personal data, organizational assignment, etc.) for a particular employee (identified by the personnel number).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to access the infotype does not have the necessary authorizations assigned in their user profile. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations related to HR data access.
  Infotype Configuration: The infotype may not be configured correctly in the system, or it may be restricted for certain users or roles.
  Personnel Number Restrictions: The personnel number being accessed may be restricted due to various reasons, such as being inactive, terminated, or not having the necessary data available.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the infotype are included.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles or modify existing roles to include the required authorizations for the infotype in question.
  
  
  
  Review Infotype Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the infotype in transaction SPRO under the relevant HR settings to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions that would prevent access.
  
  
  
  Personnel Number Status:
  
  Verify the status of the personnel number being accessed. Ensure that the employee is active and that the infotype data exists for that personnel number.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
