• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SP01R213 - No authorization to select from spool request &1 in system &2 ?

  The SAP error message SP01R213 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific spool request in the SAP system. This error typically occurs when a user tries to view or manage spool requests (print jobs) for which they do not have the appropriate permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user to access the specified spool request. This can happen due to:
  
  User Role Configuration: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles or authorizations that allow access to spool requests.
  Spool Request Ownership: The spool request may belong to another user, and the current user does not have permission to view or manage it.
  Authorization Object: The relevant authorization object (e.g., S_SPO_DEV, S_SPO_USER) may not be properly configured for the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SP01R213 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, assign them roles that include the required authorizations for accessing spool requests.
  Common authorization objects related to spool requests include:
  
  S_SPO_DEV: Authorization for spool management.
  S_SPO_USER: Authorization for accessing spool requests of other users.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Spool Request Ownership:
  
  Verify if the spool request belongs to the user or if it is owned by another user. If it is owned by another user, the current user may need additional permissions to access it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to review and adjust the user's permissions accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to access the spool request again to verify if the issue is resolved.
