• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SHTTP072 - No authorization to debug session of user &1 ?

  The SAP error message SHTTP072 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to debug a session for another user. This typically occurs when a user attempts to debug a program or transaction that is being executed by another user without having the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization in the user's profile. In SAP, debugging sessions can be sensitive, and therefore, specific authorizations are required to debug other users' sessions. The error message specifically mentions that the user does not have the authorization to debug the session of the specified user (&1).
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to debug has the necessary authorizations. The relevant authorization object is S_DEVELOP with the activity 02 (Debugging).
  You can check the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Debugging Authorization:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorization, you can assign the necessary role that includes the S_DEVELOP authorization object with the appropriate activity.
  Alternatively, you can create a custom role that includes the necessary authorizations for debugging.
  
  
  
  Debugging Own Sessions:
  
  If the user only needs to debug their own sessions, ensure that they have the authorization to debug their own programs. This is typically granted by default.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Check for Additional Restrictions:
  
  In some cases, there may be additional restrictions or policies in place that prevent debugging sessions. Ensure that there are no company policies that restrict debugging access.
