• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SR250 - No authorization to display table ?

  The SAP error message SR250, which states "No authorization to display table," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a table in the SAP system for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to view data in transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), or SE16N (General Table Display).
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the necessary authorization object that grants access to the specific table or transaction.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the required permissions to access the data in the table.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to certain tables.
  Table-Specific Restrictions: Some tables may have specific restrictions based on the data they contain, and access may be limited to certain user groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the specific table.
  If the user does not have the required role, you may need to assign a role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the authorization objects in the role to include access to the required table.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding authorization management to understand the specific authorizations required for the table in question.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
