• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB018 - No authorization S_TABU_DIS (table maintenance), activity 02 (change) ?

  The SAP error message SLS_LO_GAF_EWB018 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action that requires specific authorizations related to table maintenance, but they do not have the necessary permissions. The error specifically mentions the authorization object S_TABU_DIS, which is related to table maintenance activities.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user tries to change a table (or perform a similar action) without having the required authorization for that specific activity. The authorization object S_TABU_DIS controls access to table maintenance and is used to define which users can perform actions like display, change, or delete data in database tables.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for table maintenance.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Object S_TABU_DIS:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review the roles and the authorizations associated with them.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorization, you may need to modify an existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for S_TABU_DIS.
  Ensure that the role includes the following fields for S_TABU_DIS:
  
  Activity: Ensure that the activity 02 (change) is included.
  Table Name: Specify the relevant tables that the user needs access to, or use a wildcard if appropriate.
  
  
  
  
  
  Assign the Role to the User:
  
  After modifying or creating the role, assign it to the user in transaction code SU01.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  Have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action that previously resulted in the error to confirm that the issue is resolved.
