• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI085 - Authorization system answer received ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI085 typically indicates an authorization issue where the system is unable to process a request due to insufficient permissions for the user. This message is often related to the authorization checks that are performed when a user attempts to access certain functionalities or data within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the requested action.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or report.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required objects.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s authorizations.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure they include the necessary authorizations for the action being attempted.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects and that they are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the last authorization check. This will help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code ST01 to perform an authorization trace to gather more detailed information.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP security and define the permissions for various actions within the system.
  User Profiles: These are collections of authorizations that can be assigned to users to grant them access to specific functionalities.
  Role Maintenance: Regularly review and maintain roles to ensure that users have the appropriate access based on their job functions.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or deeper analysis of the authorization setup in your system.
