• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PG089 - No read authorization for &1 at &2 &3 ?

  The SAP error message PG089 "No read authorization for &1 at &2 &3" typically indicates that a user is attempting to access a specific object (like a table, report, or transaction) for which they do not have the necessary read authorization. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3) usually represent the object type, the object name, and possibly the authorization group or other relevant details.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization to read the specified object.
  Authorization Group Restrictions: The object may be restricted by an authorization group, and the user’s role does not include access to that group.
  Role Configuration Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorization check failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the object in question.
  If roles need to be modified, you can use transaction PFCG to adjust the roles and add the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Group:
  
  If the object is restricted by an authorization group, ensure that the user’s role includes access to that authorization group.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user’s authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
