Step-by-Step Guide to Check Access Rights in SAP

    • If specific SAP access rights are missing, the process will fail, prompting an error with no sufficient rights for the SAP table.

2. Use the transaction SU53 in SAP

    • Immediately after the error, log into the SAP system with the SAP user ID used for the data download.
    • Enter the transaction code SU53 in the command field.

3. Analyzing the SU53 Output:

    • The SU53 screen will display the most recent failed authorization check for your user ID.
    • It shows detailed information about the missing access rights, such as the authorization object and the required activity.

4. Documenting the findings:

    • Take a screenshot or note down the details of the missing access rights as shown in the SU53 output.

5. Requesting access rights:

    • Contact your SAP security administrator or the relevant department with the information about the missing access rights.
    • Provide them with the details from SU53 to facilitate a quick resolution.

6. Verifying the solution:

    • Once the access rights have been granted, retry the data download process in zapAnalytics.
    • If there are no further errors, the issue has been successfully resolved.
