• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WUSL363 - You are not authorized to search table &1 ?

  The SAP error message WUSL363, which states "You are not authorized to search table &1," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or perform a search on the specified table in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to view data in a table through transaction codes or custom programs.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object that grants access to the specific table.
  Role Assignment: The user’s role may not include permissions for the specific transaction or table.
  Table-Specific Restrictions: Some tables may have specific restrictions based on the data sensitivity or business rules.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the necessary roles that include access to the table are assigned.
  If the user needs access to a specific table, you may need to modify an existing role or create a new one that includes the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Add Authorization Objects:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s role. Common authorization objects for table access include:
  
  S_TABU_DIS (Table Display)
  S_TABU_CLI (Table Client)
  
  
  Ensure that the authorization object includes the specific table name in the relevant fields.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the error message and the table name to expedite the process.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test the access again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
