• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLIN_INTERN006 - Missing authorization to execute program &1 ?

  The SAP error message SLIN_INTERN006 indicates that a user is missing the necessary authorization to execute a specific program. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's security and authorization management, where users must have the appropriate roles and permissions to access certain transactions or programs.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user attempting to execute the program does not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user does not have the role that includes the necessary authorizations for the program.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The user may have a role, but the specific authorization object required for the program is not included or is restricted.
  Profile Changes: Changes in user roles or profiles that remove previously granted authorizations.
  Transport Issues: If the program was recently transported from another system, the necessary authorizations may not have been transported correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SLIN_INTERN006 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Required Authorizations:
  
  Identify the program that is causing the error (the program name will be indicated in the error message).
  Check the documentation or consult with your SAP security team to determine which authorization objects are required for that program.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the necessary roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  This can be done through transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) where you can create or modify roles.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP's authorization concept. Each object defines a set of permissions that can be assigned to users.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to authorization errors or provide guidance on best practices for managing user roles.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the SLIN_INTERN006 error.
