Hi all,

     when i ask the end user for SU53 screen shot of error. Most of time they do not get right authorization error in SU53.

     please explain why it is so ?

The SU53 will only show the last piece of access that the user failed on and there may be multiple access failures in a particular step.

Not sure what version of SAP you are using but in ECC6 the system will check for access that may not be necessary for what the user is doing.  For example, if they are running a report, the system may check to see if they have S_ALV_LAYO with Activity 23.  They don't need this to run the report but they would need it to change the layout of the report but if it was the last access checked by SAP, then it will be the one shown in the SU53. 

Sometimes it is better to do an ST01 trace of the user to see what is really happening.  But you must keep in mind that not all access shown in the trace is really needed (like the S_ALV_LAYO example).  Do the trace, read what the authorization objects are for (you can do this in PFCG by clicking on the F1 help for that auth object) and determine if that is access that should be given to the user.

You could also take a look at this note for an enhanced SU53, which might be of interest.
