• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SP01R212 - No authorization to select all selected spool requests ?

  The SAP error message SP01R212 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access or select the specified spool requests in the SAP system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to view or manage spool requests (print jobs) that they do not have permission to access.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user for accessing spool requests. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for spool request management.
  Spool Request Ownership: The user may be trying to access spool requests that were created by other users, and they do not have the rights to view those requests.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SP01R212 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for spool requests include:
  
  S_SPO_DEV (Spool Administration)
  S_SPO_ACT (Spool Request Management)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check Spool Request Ownership:
  
  If the spool requests belong to another user, ensure that the user has the appropriate permissions to view those requests. You may need to adjust the ownership settings or provide access to the relevant spool requests.
