  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TXX159 - No authorization for displaying data for authorization group &1 ?

    The SAP error message TXX159 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display data for a specific authorization group. This typically occurs in scenarios where access control is enforced based on authorization groups, which are used to restrict access to certain data or transactions within the SAP system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Authorization: The user lacks the required authorization object that grants access to the specified authorization group.
    2. Authorization Group Configuration: The authorization group may not be properly assigned to the user’s role or profile.
    3. Role Assignment: The user may not have the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the specific authorization group.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles:

      • Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
      • Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the required authorization group.
    2. Review Authorization Objects:

      • Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization object is missing.
      • This will provide insight into what specific authorization is required.
    3. Modify Roles:

      • If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
      • Add the necessary authorization objects that include the required authorization group.
    4. Consult with Security Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
    5. Testing:

      • After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Groups: These are used in various SAP modules (like MM, SD, etc.) to control access to specific data. Each object can be assigned to an authorization group, and users must have the appropriate authorizations to access data associated with that group.
    • Authorization Objects: These are the building blocks of SAP security. They define the permissions for various activities and are linked to roles assigned to users.

      • SU01: User Maintenance
