  Error Message
  WXP147: Incorrect authorization in the user master for user &1
  
  &1 is a placeholder for the user ID.
  
  
  Cause
  This error occurs when a user tries to perform an action or access a function in SAP Web Dynpro or related components, but the user master record does not have the required authorizations assigned.
  Specifically:
  
  The user is missing one or more required authorization objects or fields in their user master record.
  The authorization check fails during runtime because the user does not have the necessary permissions.
  This often happens in Web Dynpro applications or when using Web Dynpro ABAP components that perform authorization checks.
  
  
  Common Scenarios
  
  The user tries to execute a Web Dynpro application or component that requires specific authorizations.
  The user master record lacks the required roles or profiles.
  The authorization objects related to Web Dynpro or the underlying business process are missing or incomplete.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Identify Missing Authorizations:
  
  Check the authorization objects required by the Web Dynpro application or the transaction.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the last failed authorization check for the user.
  Alternatively, use transaction ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization checks.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles/Profiles:
  
  Based on the missing authorizations identified, assign the necessary roles or profiles to the user via transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles contain the required authorization objects and field values.
  
  
  
  Check User Master Record:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to review the user master record.
  Verify that the user has the correct roles and profiles assigned.
  
  
  
  Test the Authorization:
  
  After assigning the roles, ask the user to retry the operation.
  Use SU53 again if the error persists to check for any other missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult Application Documentation:
  
  Some Web Dynpro applications have specific authorization requirements documented in their implementation guides or SAP Notes.
  Check SAP Notes or the application documentation for any special authorization objects or roles.
