• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_SLA079 - You have no access; Authorization object check failed ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_SLA079 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action or access a particular object in the SAP system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where access control is strictly enforced through authorization objects.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one or more of the following reasons:
  
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
  
  
  Authorization Object Check: The authorization object that is being checked during the transaction does not have the necessary values assigned to the user’s role.
  
  
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be updated or may have been incorrectly configured.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role in PFCG to include the necessary authorization objects. This may involve adding new authorizations or adjusting existing ones.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details from the SU53 transaction to assist in troubleshooting.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
