• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PFO1132 - Error: Authorization check could not be carried out ?

  The SAP error message PFO1132, which states "Authorization check could not be carried out," typically indicates that there is an issue with user authorizations when trying to perform a specific action or access a particular transaction in the SAP system. This error can arise in various contexts, such as when using the SAP Fiori applications or other SAP modules.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform the action or access the transaction.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required authorization objects.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, or the profile may not be active.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or organizational levels.
  Changes in Authorization Objects: Recent changes to authorization objects or roles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed and why.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the required authorization objects are included in the roles.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Document any changes made to roles or authorizations for future reference and compliance.
