  The SAP error message SDB2U115 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action that requires specific authorizations, but they do not have the necessary permissions. This error typically arises in the context of database operations or when accessing certain functionalities within the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to perform the requested action. The message specifies that the action requires authorization related to a particular object category and activity. This could be due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the required roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  Incorrect Authorization Object: The authorization object that governs the action is not properly configured or is missing.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be set up correctly, or the user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SDB2U115 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  If roles are missing, you may need to assign the correct roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the required authorization is not included in the roles, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with those roles.
  This may require the assistance of a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions to make changes to roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unsure about which roles or authorizations are needed, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide guidance on the necessary authorizations based on the action being performed.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
