• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI062 - Customer-specific authorization flag checked ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI062 indicates that a customer-specific authorization flag has been checked, which means that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a certain action or access specific data in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where custom authorizations are implemented to enhance security and control access to sensitive information.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting to perform an action does not have the required authorization object or the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile.
  Custom Authorization Checks: The system may have been customized to include additional authorization checks that are not part of the standard SAP authorization objects.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  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 transaction you were trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Authorization Logic:
  
  If the authorization checks are part of a custom development, review the custom code or configuration to ensure that it is functioning as intended and that the necessary authorizations are granted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various transactions and data. Each object can have multiple fields that define the specific authorizations required.

  PFCG: Role Maintenance.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
