Error in some systems when adding a file to favorites

[Former Member]

I am trying to open a file that I have added to the Favorites list (Add Other Objects --> Web address or file) in system K5Z. When I double click on the link, though, I get the error message  No authorization to call transaction "SESS_START_OBJECT". I get this error in some systems (B0Y, B5Z, V7T) but in other systems (C2K, HCA, for example) it works fine. I copied the detailed error report below - does anyone know how I can solve this problem? The problem can be reproduced in the systems I listed, also with using the generic user ANZEIGER.

P.S. I am not a developer, so if the answer is obvious from the error message details, please go easy on me 🙂

Date and Time

Short Text

     No authorization
to call transaction "SESS_START_OBJECT".

What happened?

     Error in the ABAP
application program.

     The current ABAP
program "SAPLSMTR_NAVIGATION_MODULES" had to be terminated

      because it found
a

     statement that
could not be executed.

     Transaction
"SESS_START_OBJECT" is not listed in the table of transaction

      codes.

Error analysis

     An exception has
occurred which is explained in more detail below. The

     exception, which
is assigned to class 'CX_SY_AUTHORIZATION_ERROR' was not

      caught and

     therefore caused
a runtime error. The reason for the exception is:

     The current ABAP
program uses CALL TRANSACTION to call transaction

   
"SESS_START_OBJECT".

     The current user is not authorized to start transaction "SESS_START_OBJECT".

    14 * URLs im Browser, Word Dokumente (über

Navigationstransaktion in Falle eines Fehlers

    16 * (A-Message oder Dump) mit
herunterreißen, wenn sie unter dem gleichen

konventionell ( NICHT über

) einen Tcode und übergebe die Anstart-

    19 * Info über die INDX. Die gestartete
Transaktion (sie heißt

    21 * Auf diesem Wege weiß dann der Kernel: Hier
wird die Navigations-

Problems (z.B. weil der Pfad

    23 * zu einem Word Dokument nicht gefunden
werden kann oder weil irgend-

    24 * ein Report dumpt) bleibt die

The answer is obvious - you don't have authorization for transaction SESS_START_OBJECT. So what is not clear exactly? Authorization concept is explained in SAP Help (searchable in Google as well).

In all honesty, I have no clue what all those systems are, but judging by the "SAP trapezoid" next to your name I'm guessing it's some kind of SAP internal stuff. So I'm confused why this question needs to be posted on SCN, which is a global community, vs. internal SAP help desk...

Also IMHO authorization check should not cause a dump, but again your colleagues would be in the best position to explain why this happens.

Thanks and sorry for posting here - I will move the question internally.
