• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC385 - Authorization &1 deactivated ?

  The SAP error message RSEC385 indicates that a specific authorization object has been deactivated in the system. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's authorization management, particularly when dealing with roles and authorizations in the SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or other modules that utilize authorization checks.
  Cause:
  The error message RSEC385 is triggered when:
  
  An authorization object that is required for a specific action or transaction has been deactivated.
  This can happen due to changes in the authorization concept, where certain authorizations are no longer needed or have been intentionally deactivated by an administrator.
  It may also occur if the user is trying to access a report or transaction that requires specific authorizations that are not currently active.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSEC385 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object mentioned in the error message (denoted by &1).
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze the authorization check after the error occurs. This will show you which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Reactivate the Authorization Object:
  
  If the authorization object is indeed deactivated and is required for the user's role, you may need to reactivate it.
  This can be done through transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) where you can modify the role and add the necessary authorization object back.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct role assigned that includes the necessary authorizations.
  You can check this in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) by reviewing the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide insights into why the authorization was deactivated and whether it should be reactivated.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user test the transaction or report again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
