• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message QJ015 - No authorization. ABAPSUBMIT authorization is required ?

  The SAP error message QJ015 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific ABAP program or report using the SUBMIT statement. This typically occurs when a user attempts to run a report or transaction that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause
  The error is caused by the lack of the required authorization object in the user's profile. The specific authorization object that is relevant here is S_PROGRAM with the activity SUBMIT. This authorization is necessary for executing ABAP programs via the SUBMIT statement.
  Solution
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Identify the User: Determine which user is encountering the error.
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to display the user’s profile.
  Check the authorizations assigned to the user by navigating to the "Roles" tab.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Look for the authorization object S_PROGRAM and ensure that the user has the necessary activity (usually SUBMIT).
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you can either:
  
  Assign a role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Modify an existing role to include the required authorization object.
  Create a custom role with the necessary authorizations if appropriate.
  
  
  
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt to execute the report or transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
