Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_PRC_BAS029 - No authorization to display the selected data ?

  The SAP error message WRF_PRC_BAS029: No authorization to display the selected data typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view certain data within a specific SAP application or transaction.
  
  Cause
  
  The user is trying to display or access data for which they lack the required authorization.
  The authorization objects or roles assigned to the user do not include the permissions needed to view the selected data.
  This can happen if the data is sensitive or restricted based on organizational levels, company codes, plants, or other authorization-relevant fields.
  Sometimes, the error occurs if the user tries to access data belonging to a different organizational unit or client without proper authorization.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the missing authorization objects.
  This transaction shows the last failed authorization check and helps identify which authorization object and field values are missing.
  
  
  
  Review and Adjust Roles:
  
  Based on the SU53 output, review the roles assigned to the user in PFCG.
  Add or adjust the necessary authorization objects and field values to allow display access to the required data.
  Common authorization objects related to data display might include:
  
  S_TCODE (Transaction code authorization)
  Application-specific authorization objects (e.g., P_PROCM, P_LOG, S_DATASET, etc.)
  
  
  Ensure that the roles include the correct organizational levels (company code, plant, sales organization, etc.) relevant to the data.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles, raise a request with your SAP security or BASIS team.
  Provide them with the SU53 output and details about the transaction and data you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Verify Data Ownership:
  
  Confirm that the data you are trying to display belongs to the organizational units you have access to.
  If not, request access or check if the data should be restricted.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  Transaction SU53: Displays the last authorization check failure for the current user.
  Transaction PFCG: Role maintenance transaction to assign or modify user roles and authorizations.
  Authorization Objects: SAP uses authorization objects to control access to data and transactions. Understanding which objects control access to your data is key.
  SAP Notes: Sometimes, specific SAP Notes or patches address authorization issues in certain modules or transactions.
  Module-Specific Context: The exact authorization objects and roles depend on the SAP module (e.g., MM, SD, FI, HR) and the transaction or report you are using.
  
  
  Summary
  
  Cause: Missing authorization to display the selected data.
  Solution: Use SU53 to identify missing authorizations, then update user roles in PFCG to include necessary permissions.
  Additional: Work with SAP security team if needed, and ensure data belongs to authorized organizational units.
  
  If you provide the specific transaction or module where this error occurs, I can help identify the exact authorization objects involved.
