• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SAAB029 - No authorization for displaying a checkpoint group ?

  The SAP error message SAAB029 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a checkpoint group. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's monitoring and performance management tools, where checkpoint groups are used to manage and monitor system performance.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to access the checkpoint group. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that grants access to the checkpoint group.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions to view or manage checkpoint groups.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SAAB029 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) and check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for displaying checkpoint groups.
  If the roles do not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization object that may be required is S_CHECK_GRP (Authorization for Checkpoint Groups). Ensure that this object is included in the user’s role with the appropriate activity (e.g., display).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the user’s requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with SAP authorization concepts and how to manage roles and profiles.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
