• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SR226 - No authorization to display access control list ?

  The SAP error message SR226, which states "No authorization to display access control list," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or view an access control list (ACL) for a specific object or resource in SAP but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization to view the access control list associated with the object they are trying to access. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to view ACLs.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The authorization objects related to the specific transaction or resource may not be properly assigned to the user.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SR226 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include permissions for viewing access control lists.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_USER_AUTH, S_USER_PRO, etc.) to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations. You can use transaction code SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see what is missing.
  
  
  
  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. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
