• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC044 - No authorization to read authorizations of user &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSEC044 indicates that a user is attempting to read the authorizations of another user but does not have the necessary permissions to do so. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's authorization management, particularly when dealing with user roles and profiles.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The user executing the action does not have the required authorization object to read the authorizations of the specified user.
  The authorization object S_USER_AUTH is not properly assigned to the user or their role.
  The user may not have the necessary permissions to access the transaction or report that is trying to read the authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSEC044 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the authorizations of the user who is trying to read the authorizations. Ensure that they have the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the user has the S_USER_AUTH authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for display) and the necessary field values (like USER for the user ID they are trying to access).
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test again to ensure that the user can now read the authorizations of the specified user without encountering the error.
