• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_COMM_POLLER014 - You are not authorized to execute the report. ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_COMM_POLLER014 indicates that a user is not authorized to execute a specific report or transaction. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access the functions and data they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to execute the report.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the report.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The report may require specific authorization objects that are not included in the user's roles.
  Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles may have occurred, leading to the loss of access to certain reports.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review 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 report execution authorization are assigned.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations. This can be done through transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  If the roles are already assigned but the user still cannot execute the report, you may need to modify the roles to include the missing authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. Provide them with the details of the error and the report you are trying to execute.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test the report execution again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
