• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RLB120 - Cannot execute/test for security reasons ?

  The SAP error message RLB120: Cannot execute/test for security reasons typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction or program that is restricted due to security settings in the SAP system. This is often related to authorization issues or system settings that prevent certain actions for security reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute the transaction or program. This can be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Security Settings: The system may have specific security settings that restrict the execution of certain transactions or programs to prevent unauthorized access or actions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Some transactions may be restricted by the system administrator for specific user groups or roles.
  Profile Parameters: Certain profile parameters in the SAP system may be set to restrict execution for security reasons.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check for missing authorizations.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary authorizations to change roles, contact your SAP security administrator to review and adjust your authorizations as needed.
  
  
  
  Review Security Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific security settings or restrictions in place for the transaction or program you are trying to execute. This may involve reviewing transaction codes in the system and their associated security settings.
  
  
  
  Check for Transaction Restrictions:
  
  Ensure that the transaction you are trying to execute is not restricted for your user group or role. This can be checked in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Profile Parameters:
  
  If you have access, review the system profile parameters related to security to see if any settings are causing the restriction. This typically requires administrative access.
  
  
  
  Testing in a Different Environment:
  
  If possible, try executing the transaction in a different environment (e.g., development or quality assurance) to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SU01 (User Maintenance), PFCG (Role Maintenance), and SU53 (Authorization Check).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific transaction or program you are trying to execute.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for the specific transaction or program to understand any prerequisites or restrictions.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or technical support for further investigation.
