• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TP680 - No authorization to read file &1 ?

  The SAP error message TP680 ("No authorization to read file &1") typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access a specific file in the SAP system. This error can occur in various contexts, such as during transport operations or when accessing certain files in the SAP environment.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user executing the transaction does not have the required authorizations to read the specified file.
  File Permissions: The file system permissions on the server may not allow the SAP user to access the file.
  Transport Directory Issues: If the error occurs during transport operations, it may be related to the transport directory settings or the transport files themselves.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_DATA, S_FILE, etc.).
  
  
  
  Adjust User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to adjust their roles or profiles. This can be done by a security administrator using transaction PFCG to modify the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  File System Permissions:
  
  Check the file system permissions on the server where the file is located. Ensure that the SAP user has read access to the file in question.
  If necessary, modify the file permissions using operating system commands (e.g., chmod on Unix/Linux systems).
  
  
  
  Transport Directory Configuration:
  
  If the error occurs during transport operations, verify the transport directory settings in transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  Ensure that the transport directory is correctly configured and that the transport files are accessible.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that may be involved in file access, such as S_DATA, S_FILE, and others.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how TMS works can help in diagnosing transport-related issues.
  SAP Security: Knowledge of SAP security concepts and user role management is essential for resolving authorization issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to involve your SAP Basis team or consult SAP support for further assistance.
