• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PEP180 - No authorization ?

  The SAP error message PEP180, which states "No authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to access specific reports, transactions, or data.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the required authorization object in their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate role assigned that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user does not include the required permissions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Analyze the output to identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the missing authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance.
