  Error Message
  WRF_AT002
  
  Text: You are not authorized to execute transaction &
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user attempts to execute a transaction code (T-code) for which they do not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, access to transactions is controlled by authorization objects and roles assigned to the user. If the user’s assigned roles do not include the required authorization for the transaction, the system prevents execution and throws this error.
  
  Explanation
  
  The placeholder & in the message will be replaced by the actual transaction code the user tried to execute.
  Authorization checks are performed based on the user’s roles and profiles.
  The system checks for the authorization object S_TCODE which controls access to transaction codes.
  If the user lacks the authorization for the transaction code, the system issues this error.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the last failed authorization check.
  This will show which authorization object and field values are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Use transaction PFCG to review the roles and their authorizations.
  Verify if the roles assigned to the user include the authorization for the transaction code in question.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorization:
  
  If the user needs access to the transaction, add the transaction code to an appropriate role.
  Generate and assign the updated role to the user.
  Ensure that the authorization object S_TCODE includes the transaction code.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After role assignment, ask the user to log off and log back in.
  Test the transaction again.
  
  
  
  Security Considerations:
  
  Only assign transactions that the user legitimately needs.
  Follow the principle of least privilege to avoid unnecessary access.
