• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_01112 - You are not authorized to use this transaction ?

  The SAP error message SGT_01112, which states "You are not authorized to use this transaction," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute the specific transaction in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, incorrect user profiles, or insufficient permissions assigned to the user.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the transaction.
  Authorization Objects: The authorization objects related to the transaction may not be properly configured or may not include the user.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up, or the user may not be part of the correct user groups.
  Transaction Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the transaction based on organizational policies or security settings.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the role containing the necessary authorizations for the transaction is included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after receiving the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show which authorization objects failed.
  If you have access, you can also use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to check the authorizations assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary roles are missing, you may need to work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles to the user.
  If the roles are present but do not include the necessary authorizations, the security team may need to modify the roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP security administrator or the team responsible for user authorizations to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
