3763955 - "No authorization to create configuration" when using ABAP Cross Trace in Public Cloud environments

• The error message "No authorization to create configuration" appears when attempting to use ABAP Cross Trace.
• The issue occurs while trying to trace another user via ABAP Cross Trace in Eclipse (ADT).

SAP S/4HANA Cloud Public Edition

1. Open ABAP Development Tools (Eclipse) and attempt to create an ABAP Cross Trace configuration to trace another user.
2. Start the trace configuration and observe the error "No authorization to create configuration".

In Public Cloud environments, ABAP Cross Trace does not support tracing other usernames. This is a known product limitation, which leads to the authorization error even if standard roles are assigned.

1. If feasible, run the custom code with your own user and then use ABAP Cross Trace.
2. Alternatively, use the ADT Profiler:
   1. Create an ABAP Trace Request in the ADT view "ABAP Trace Requests".
   2. Run the relevant program/request.
   3. Review the results in the ADT view "ABAP Traces".

Note: the authorization object S_XTRACE is checked by ABAP Cross Trace, but assigning it will not bypass the Public Cloud limitation for tracing other usernames.
