• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB621 - You are not authorized to analyze change logs ?

  The SAP error message TB621, which states "You are not authorized to analyze change logs," typically occurs when a user attempts to access change logs in the SAP system without having the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to view change logs for tables or other objects.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. The specific authorization object that governs access to change logs is usually related to the following:
  
  Authorization Object: S_TABU_CLI (for table change logs)
  Authorization Object: S_TABU_DIS (for table display access)
  
  If the user does not have the necessary permissions assigned to their user profile, they will encounter this error when trying to analyze change logs.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 to display the user profile.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and see if they include the necessary authorizations for analyzing change logs.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you assess and grant the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test again to see if the error persists.
