• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC366 - Authorization &2 assigned to user &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSEC366 indicates that a user (identified by &1) is assigned an authorization object (identified by &2) that is not valid for the current context or does not meet the necessary criteria for access. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when users attempt to access data or reports for which they do not have the appropriate authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the requested data or transaction.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the required authorizations for the specific data or transaction.
  Data Access Restrictions: The authorization object may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing certain data based on characteristics like company code, plant, or other criteria.
  Changes in Authorization: Changes in the authorization roles or objects may have occurred, leading to the user losing access to certain functionalities.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Verify if the user has the necessary roles assigned that include the required authorization object.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the last authorization check. This will show which authorization failed and why.
  Check the specific authorization object &2 to see what values are required and whether the user meets those criteria.
  
  
  
  Adjust Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to modify roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After making changes, test the user’s access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
