• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WS436 - No authorization to restore ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WS436 - No authorization to restore
  
  Cause:
  The error message WS436 occurs when a user attempts to perform a restore operation (such as restoring a backup or a transport request) but does not have the necessary authorizations to carry out this action. In SAP systems, certain operations like restoring data or objects are protected by specific authorization objects to prevent unauthorized changes.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The user lacks the required authorization to execute the restore function.
  This typically happens when the user tries to restore a transport request, a backup, or any system object that requires elevated privileges.
  The authorization check fails, and SAP issues the WS436 message.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user who is trying to perform the restore.
  Check the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  The user needs the appropriate authorization objects related to restore operations.
  Common authorization objects related to transport and restore operations include:
  
  S_TRANSPRT (Transport Management System)
  S_RSTRCT (Restore authorization)
  S_CTS_ADMI (Change and Transport System Administration)
  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary activity (e.g., activity 02 = Change, or 16 = Restore) for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you do not have authorization to assign roles, contact your SAP Basis or Security team.
  They can review and assign the correct roles or create a custom role with the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Verify Transport/Restore Settings:
  
  Sometimes, the system settings or transport routes might restrict restore operations.
  Check the transport layer and system settings if the problem persists.
  
  
  
  
  Additional Information:
  
  Transaction Codes related to restore:
  
  STMS (Transport Management System) – for managing transports and restores.
  RZ10 / RZ11 – for system profile parameters that might affect restore operations.
  
  
  Logs and Traces:
  
  Check system logs (SM21) and transport logs for more detailed error information.
  
  
  SAP Notes:
  
  Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WS436 for any patches or known issues.
