• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S10028 - authorization of execution failed ?

  The SAP error message S10028, which states "Authorization of execution failed," typically indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a particular transaction or program in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to run a report, access a specific module, or perform certain actions within the system.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that grant access to the transaction or program.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Authorization Profile Changes: Changes to authorization profiles or roles may have inadvertently removed necessary permissions.
  User Status: The user account may be locked or inactive, preventing execution of transactions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user groups or organizational levels.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  If you identify the missing authorization object, you can work with your security team to grant the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  If the user needs additional roles, you can use transaction code PFCG to create or modify roles and assign the necessary authorization objects.
  Ensure that the roles are properly generated and activated.
  
  
  
  User Account Status:
  
  Check if the user account is locked or inactive. If so, unlock or activate the account using transaction code SU01.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance in resolving the authorization issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
