• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SBDS106 - No authorization for this action ?

  The SAP error message SBDS106 ("No authorization for this action") typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to access certain transactions, reports, or functionalities.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Issues: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Profile Restrictions: The user profile may have restrictions that prevent certain actions.
  Transaction Codes: The transaction code being accessed may require specific authorizations that the user lacks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 or PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the action being attempted.
  If roles need to be modified, you may need to work with a security administrator to add the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object:
  
  Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. This can be done by analyzing the output from SU53 or by checking the role definitions in PFCG.
  
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations:
  
  If the user requires additional authorizations, they should submit a request to their SAP security team or administrator to have the necessary permissions added to their user profile.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They should then attempt the action again to see if the issue is resolved.

  Authorization Concepts: Understanding how authorizations work in SAP, including roles, profiles, and authorization objects, is crucial for troubleshooting these types of errors.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or internal guidelines for managing user authorizations and roles within your organization.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
