Message Text

Too many values in authorization &1 for object &2

Help Document

Diagnosis

Due to a technical restriction, it is not possible to add any more values to the authorization.

System Response

The process was terminated.

Procedure

Divide the values among several authorizations and combine these in a profile.

If the problem occurred in a generated authorization, you need to create additional authorizations in the corresponding role. However, this measure is insufficient if the affected authorization contains a large number of organizational level values, because these are automatically copied to the new authorizations. In this case, you need to distribute the values among a number of roles.

Due to the varying lengths of the authorization values, there is no fixed limit for the number of values per authorization. The number of values that an authorization can accept must be calculated for each case individually. The formula required to calculate this is available in SAP Note 410993.
