• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI5/DESCR_VAR_CHECK012 - No authorization to perform this operation ?

  The SAP error message /UI5/DESCR_VAR_CHECK012 No authorization to perform this operation typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific operation within the SAP Fiori/UI5 application. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to access certain functionalities, data, or transactions that require specific roles or permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the operation being attempted.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: Specific authorization objects may have restrictions that prevent the user from performing the operation.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up or may have been modified, leading to missing authorizations.
  
  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 for the operation are included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify which specific authorization object is missing.
  If you have access, you can also use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to check for roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  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 required changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the operation again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Support:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation for specific authorization objects related to the operation you are trying to perform.
  If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP support or your internal SAP support team for further assistance.
