• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QETB019 - No authorization ?

  The SAP error message QETB019 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action related to quality management (QM) or other related modules. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access a transaction, report, or function for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization object that grants access to the specific transaction or function.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and profiles.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG to add the missing authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
