• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RX089 - Favorites of user &1 locked; also no display authorization ?

  The SAP error message RX089 indicates that the favorites of a specific user (denoted by &1) are locked, and the user does not have the necessary display authorization to access them. This can occur in various scenarios, typically related to user permissions and system settings.
  Cause:
  
  User Locking: The user's favorites may be locked due to administrative actions, such as the user being locked in the system or the favorites being locked for some reason (e.g., user profile changes).
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to view or access the favorites. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in their user profile.
  System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that restrict access to certain favorites based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Status: Verify if the user is locked in the system. You can do this by checking the user status in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). If the user is locked, unlock the user.
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the favorites. This can be done by reviewing the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Check Favorites Locking: If the favorites themselves are locked, you may need to unlock them. This can be done by an administrator or through specific transactions that manage user favorites.
  Role Assignment: If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations to access the favorites.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or Security team for specific configurations that may affect user access to favorites.
