• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC355 - Test for user &1 was not successful ?

  The SAP error message RSEC355, which states "Test for user &1 was not successful," typically occurs in the context of SAP's authorization and security framework, particularly when testing user authorizations in the SAP system. This error can arise during the execution of authorization checks or when using transaction codes related to user and role management, such as SU53 or PFCG.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user being tested does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action or access the data specified in the test.
  Role Assignment Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required authorizations, or the roles may not be properly configured.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, leading to missing authorizations.
  Authorization Objects: The authorization objects required for the transaction or action may not be included in the user's roles.
  Transport Issues: If roles or authorizations were recently transported from another system, there may be inconsistencies or missing elements.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Review the authorization log to identify the specific authorization objects that are causing the issue.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary roles are assigned and that they contain the required authorizations.
  If roles need to be modified, ensure that the changes are saved and activated.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Objects:
  
  If specific authorization objects are missing, you may need to add them to the relevant roles or create new roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Profile Generation:
  
  If changes are made to roles, ensure that you regenerate the profiles using the profile generator in transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, retest the user authorization using the same transaction or action that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes or if the issue persists, consult your SAP security team or administrator for further assistance.
