• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SH022 - Authorization in user profile destroyed ?

  The SAP error message SH022 ("Authorization in user profile destroyed") typically indicates that there is an issue with the authorization profile assigned to a user. This can occur for several reasons, such as changes in authorization objects, deletion of roles, or inconsistencies in the user master data.
  Causes:
  
  Role Deletion: If a role that was previously assigned to the user has been deleted or modified, it can lead to this error.
  Authorization Object Changes: Changes to authorization objects that the user profile relies on can cause the profile to become invalid.
  User Master Data Issues: Corruption or inconsistencies in the user master data can lead to authorization problems.
  Transport Issues: If roles or profiles were transported incorrectly between systems, it could lead to missing authorizations.
  Profile Generation Issues: If there was an error during the generation of the user profile, it may not have been created correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Reassign Roles: Check if the roles assigned to the user are still valid. If any roles have been deleted, reassign the necessary roles to the user.
  Check Authorization Objects: Review the authorization objects associated with the user’s roles to ensure they are still valid and have not been modified in a way that affects the user’s access.

  Profile Generation: Use transaction code PFCG to regenerate the profiles for the roles assigned to the user. This can help in resolving inconsistencies.
  User Master Data Check: Verify the user master data for any inconsistencies or errors. You can use transaction code SU01 to check and correct any issues.
