• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TWBA006 - No authorization for chosen action ?

  The SAP error message TWBA006 ("No authorization for chosen action") typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, such as when trying to access certain transactions, reports, or functions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Issues: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Profile: The authorization profile assigned to the user may not cover the required actions.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles are included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization objects are missing.
  This transaction will show you the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the action again to ensure that the authorization issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to roles or authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  
  
  Security Administrator: If you are not authorized to make changes, you will need to work with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
