• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /STTPEC/MSG053 - Records were filtered due to authorizations. ?

  The SAP error message /STTPEC/MSG053 Records were filtered due to authorizations indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view certain records in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where access control is strictly enforced to protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with security policies.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Restrictions: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to access specific records or data sets.
  Data Filtering: The system is configured to filter out records based on the user's authorizations, which means that even if records exist, they will not be displayed if the user lacks the required permissions.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that grant access to the required transactions or data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check. This transaction will show which authorization objects were checked and which ones failed. This can help identify what specific authorizations are missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Consult with Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
