• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PM0/ABO_MESSAGES014 - No authorization to display this object category ?

  The SAP error message /PM0/ABO_MESSAGES014 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific object category. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data and functions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user might not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations for the object category in question.
  Object Category Restrictions: The specific object category may have restrictions that prevent certain users from viewing it based on their roles or profiles.
  Profile Changes: Recent changes to user roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check if the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the object category.
  Use transaction PFCG to review and modify roles. Ensure that the role includes the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to add them to the user’s role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the specific object category are included in the role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved. You can also use transaction SU56 to check the user’s active authorizations after changes.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
