  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDMI140 - This user does not have SAP_ALL profile assigned (see longtext). ?

    The SAP error message SDMI140 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization profile, specifically the SAP_ALL profile, which is a comprehensive authorization profile that grants access to all transactions and data in the SAP system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action or access a transaction that requires higher-level permissions than what they currently possess.

    Cause:

    1. Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations to execute the transaction or access the data they are trying to reach.
    2. Profile Restrictions: The user may have a limited profile assigned that does not include the necessary permissions.
    3. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to include the required authorizations.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.

    2. Authorization Check: Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check log. This will show which specific authorizations are missing.

    3. Assign SAP_ALL Profile: If appropriate and in line with your organization's security policies, you can assign the SAP_ALL profile to the user. However, this is generally not recommended due to security concerns, as it grants unrestricted access to the entire system.

    4. Custom Authorization Profiles: Instead of granting SAP_ALL, consider creating or modifying custom authorization profiles that provide the necessary permissions without compromising security.

    5. Consult with Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or profiles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user's authorizations.

    6. Documentation and Training: Ensure that users are aware of the authorization requirements for the transactions they need to perform. Providing training or documentation can help prevent similar issues in the future.
