• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB104 - No maintenance authorization for Table & ?

  The SAP error message TB104 ("No maintenance authorization for Table &") typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a database table for which they do not have the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems where access control is strictly enforced to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to perform maintenance activities on the specified table.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific table or transaction.
  Table Locking: The table may be locked for maintenance by another user or process, although this is less common for this specific error.
  Custom Tables: If the table is a custom table, the authorization might not have been properly set up during its creation.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for table maintenance are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the specific table.
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate authorization objects, such as S_TABU_DIS (for table display) and S_TABU_CLI (for client-specific table maintenance).
  
  
  
  Request Authorization:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check Table Maintenance Generator:
  
  If the table is a custom table, ensure that the Table Maintenance Generator (TMG) has been properly configured and that the necessary authorizations are assigned to it.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to tables in SAP.
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance

  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  If the problem persists after checking and updating authorizations, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting with a technical expert familiar with your specific SAP environment.
