• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI098 - Authorization response received ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_LOG_GUI098 typically indicates an authorization issue where the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform a specific action or access certain data within the SAP system. This message is part of the authorization check mechanism in SAP, which ensures that users can only perform actions for which they have been granted permission.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific transaction or action they are trying to perform.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transactions or data.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in roles or authorizations may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  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 Role Configuration:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, 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 authorization. Each object defines a specific action that can be performed on a specific type of data.
  User Profiles: User profiles in SAP define the authorizations that a user has. Profiles can be assigned directly to users or through roles.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  ST01: System Trace
  
  
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly review user roles and authorizations to ensure they are up to date and aligned with business needs.
  Implement a change management process for authorizations to prevent unauthorized access or loss of necessary permissions.
  Provide training for users on how to handle authorization errors and whom to contact for assistance.
