Why is SAP authorization profile red or yellow?
When you change a role, you must regenerate the authorization profile. In this case, the status of the profile generation is displayed red or yellow at the top of the Authorizations tab page, and is explained in more detail further down the tab page with a short text:
· If the status display is red, you must perform an authorization data comparison, since the menu was changed since the last profile generation or no authorization data exists.
· If the display is yellow, the authorization data for the role was changed and saved after the last generation. The generated profile is no longer current. You need to regenerate it.
