  The SAP error message VT666, which states "You are not authorized to execute the report," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to run a specific report or transaction in the SAP system. This can occur for various reasons, including missing roles, profiles, or specific authorizations related to the report in question.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that grants access to the report.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the appropriate role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not include the necessary authorizations for executing the report.
  Transaction Restrictions: There may be restrictions on certain transactions based on user roles or organizational units.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 role containing the necessary authorizations for the report is included.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to analyze user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  This typically requires access to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to create or modify roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the report again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
