The ABAP trace utility has been around since the early 1.X 
versions.  However, anyone care to estimate how long it will take 
Phil H to trace each transaction and document the Authorizations 
required for each?

A better method/tool is to use the SU53 transaction.  Running 
this immediately following a failed transaction will yield the 
Authorization, required values and the user's matching 
Authorization; if the user had a matching object. 

When I use SU53 I create a blank user account (no authorizations) 
or a copy of the users acct. and run the transaction from this 
account.  Then run SU53 and download or print the SU53 report.  
Next, use the report to search ("Used In") using the Information 
menu option to locate all of the profiles that already contain 
the Authorization.  

Phil, why reinvent the wheel?  Most, if not all of the SAP 
delivered Auths are already setup with everything your users need 
by application area - and then some.  Use these as the starting 
point, copy them and tailor them to your needs.
