• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PCTRRES_MSG019 - Nothing authorized ?

  The SAP error message PCTRRES_MSG019, which states "Nothing authorized," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a resource or perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to access certain transactions, reports, or data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The most common cause is that the user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Issues: The user’s assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required authorizations.
  Organizational Level Restrictions: There may be restrictions based on organizational levels (e.g., company code, plant) that the user does not meet.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Alternatively, use transaction SU01 to review the user’s authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the necessary authorization objects are included in the roles.
  If roles are missing, you may need to create or modify roles to include the required 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. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:

  Related Information:
