• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S1067 - No authorization for function "Trace on" ?

  The SAP error message S1067 "No authorization for function 'Trace on'" typically indicates that a user is attempting to activate or use the trace functionality in SAP without having the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to enable performance tracing or debugging features.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific authorization object that governs access to tracing functions is usually related to the following:
  
  Authorization Object: S_TRACE
  Field: ACTVT (Activity) - The user needs to have the appropriate activity (like '01' for 'Create' or '02' for 'Change') for tracing.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Enter the user ID that is encountering the error and click on the "Roles" tab.
  Review the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the last authorization check. This will show you which authorization was missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review the roles and the associated authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary authorization, you may need to modify an existing role or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Add the authorization object S_TRACE with the necessary activities.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles, ask the user to log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, you may need to contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
