• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHDB_PFW722 - User &2 not authorized to call RFC &1 (rc=&3) due to AuthObj &4 ?

  The SAP error message SHDB_PFW722 indicates that a user is not authorized to call a Remote Function Call (RFC) due to authorization object restrictions. Here’s a breakdown of the components of the error message and how to address it:
  Cause
  
  User Authorization: The user (&2) does not have the necessary authorizations to execute the specified RFC function module (&1). This is typically due to missing or insufficient authorizations related to the specified authorization object (&4).
  Authorization Object: The authorization object is a security mechanism in SAP that controls access to various functions and data. The error message indicates that the user lacks the required permissions associated with this object.
  Return Code: The return code (&3) provides additional context about the authorization failure, indicating the specific nature of the authorization issue.
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile of the affected user (&2).
  Review the roles assigned to the user and check if they include the necessary authorizations for the RFC function module.
  
  
  
  Identify Required Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the last authorization check that failed. This will help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SUIM to analyze user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the RFC function module.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, test the RFC call again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or consult with your SAP security team for specific details about the authorization object (&4) and the required permissions for the RFC function module.
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Authorization Objects: These are defined in the SAP system and can include various fields that specify the level of access required (e.g., activity type, object type).
  RFC Function Modules: These are remote-enabled function modules that allow communication between different SAP systems or between SAP and non-SAP systems.
  Security Best Practices: Ensure that users have the minimum necessary authorizations to perform their job functions, following the principle of least privilege.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the authorization issue indicated by the SHDB_PFW722 error message. If the problem persists, consider involving your SAP Basis or security team for further assistance.
