• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV031 - Only program & is currently permitted ?

  The SAP error message SV031 ("Only program & is currently permitted") typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a program or transaction that is not authorized for their user role or profile. This error is part of SAP's security measures to ensure that users can only access programs that they are permitted to run.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute the program or transaction.
  Program Restrictions: The program may be restricted to certain user roles or profiles, and the current user does not belong to those roles.
  Transaction Codes: The transaction code being used may not be assigned to the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user requires access to the program, you may need to add the necessary authorization objects to their user role.
  Consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user is assigned the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Program Authorization:
  
  If the program is restricted to certain users, you may need to modify the program's authorization settings or create a new role that includes access to the program.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or security team for specific details about the program and its authorization requirements.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
