Problems with authorizations is Program

Miguel_Nava1 — Thu, 30 Jul 2026 21:18:46 GMT

Hello Experts:

I am facing this problem, hopefully someone can provide some guidance:

I have copied an SAP program. I have eliminated the code where a couple of authorizations were checked. I have searched the program and there are no checks of authorizations (searched the term "Authority"). However when I run the program, I still got errors for lack of authorization (shown in SU53). When I debug I set a break point for statement Authority-check, and for function module AUTHORITY_CHECK_TCODE , nothing is found.

I don't know how this checks are performed (other Abap instructions or other mechanism out of ABAP).

Any advice is welcomed , thanks in advance

You can activate authorization trace in STAUTHTRACE or ST01 and see if they return anything.

NEVER EVER COPY a standard program, just adapt the standard program, because you get support with patches and upgrades (SPAU). You may use the Enhancement framework, and the and Switch framework may be used to group your modifications under one switch (in case you want to run the standard program with your modifications switched off).

Hey,

have you checked if an authorization group is defined in the program properties?
