• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TC053 - No authorization to evaluate trace data ?

  The SAP error message TC053 "No authorization to evaluate trace data" typically occurs when a user attempts to access or evaluate trace data in the SAP system without having the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when using transaction codes related to performance analysis or debugging.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user profile. The specific authorization object that is usually involved in this case is S_TRACE, which controls access to trace data evaluation.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and can help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Look for roles that include the necessary authorizations for trace data evaluation.
  
  
  
  Modify or Create Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify an existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization object S_TRACE.
  Ensure that the role includes the appropriate activity (e.g., 01 for display) for the trace data evaluation.
  
  
  
  Assign the Role to the User:
  
  Once the role is updated or created, assign it to the user in SU01.
  
  
  
  Test the Access:
  
  After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to access the trace data again to verify that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects, especially S_TRACE, which is specifically related to trace data evaluation.
  Transaction Codes: Common transaction codes that may trigger this error include:
  
  ST01 (System Trace)
  ST05 (SQL Trace)
  ST12 (Combined Trace)
  
  
  Security Best Practices: Always follow your organization's security policies when modifying user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance and security.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating the authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP security team or refer to SAP documentation for further troubleshooting.
