• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VATCRQ139 - Sorry, you do not have authorization to view data assigned to other users ?

  The SAP error message VATCRQ139, which states "Sorry, you do not have authorization to view data assigned to other users," typically occurs when a user attempts to access data or transactions that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and compliance.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile to view the data in question.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include permissions for the specific transaction or data set they are trying to access.
  Data Ownership: The data being accessed is restricted to certain users or groups, and the current user is not part of that group.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by an administrator using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Review Authorization Objects: Ensure that the necessary authorization objects are included in the user's roles. Common authorization objects related to data access include S_USER_AUTH, S_TCODE, and others specific to the module being accessed.
  Request Additional Access: If the user requires access to specific data, they should submit a request to their SAP security team or administrator to have the necessary authorizations added to their profile.
  Check Data Restrictions: If the data is restricted based on ownership or other criteria, ensure that the user is authorized to view that specific data set.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and back in to test if the issue is resolved.
