• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SGT_SIC009 - You are not authorized to display the application log ?

  The SAP error message SGT_SIC009, which states "You are not authorized to display the application log," typically occurs when a user attempts to access application logs without having the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various SAP transactions where application logs are relevant, such as in the context of monitoring or troubleshooting.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user does not have the necessary permissions to view the application logs, which are often protected due to the sensitive nature of the information they may contain.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access application logs. This typically involves the following authorization objects:
  
  S_LOG_AUTH - Authorization for application log
  S_TCODE - Authorization for transaction codes (if applicable)
  
  
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the appropriate authorizations are granted.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to access the application log again to verify that the issue is resolved.
