• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RP090 - You are not authorized to use the requested function ?

  The SAP error message RP090, which states "You are not authorized to use the requested function," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a specific action or access a particular function within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to execute a transaction, access a report, or perform a specific operation.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant access to the required transaction or function.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Even if a user has a role, specific authorization objects within that role may not grant the necessary permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured, leading to insufficient access rights.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
  User Status: The user account may be locked or inactive, preventing access to certain functions.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify that the user has the correct roles assigned. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after receiving the error to analyze the authorization check. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security or basis team to request the necessary authorizations.
  Role Assignment: If the user needs access to a specific function, ensure that the appropriate role is assigned, and that it includes the necessary authorization objects.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
