• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WO602 - You have no authorization to select this view ?

  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
