# Authorization Issues When Reading Tables

Once you complete extracting your [Custom Code](/v1/docs/how-to-extract-and-upload-your-custom-code), you may encounter**authorization issues** in the final **[Job Log](/v1/docs/how-to-retrieve-the-sm37-job-log-for-panaya-support)**.  
These issues can be related to the Production RFC user or the user running the extraction.  
  
**Examples of a Job Log Authorization Issue**

- RFC_READ_TABLE of [TABLE_NAME]. Error: NOT_AUTHORIZED
- RFC_READ_TABLE of E070. Error: NOT_AUTHORIZED
- <ETL_JOBLOG ORDER="00212" DATE="20161123" TIME="101144" MESSAGE="Extraction of AGR_USERS from PANAYA_HRP failed. Error: NOT_AUTHORIZED"/>

You will need to define/update the Authorization Group for Object S_TABU_DIS to the Production RFC user, as described in [this article](/v1/docs/authorizations-required-for-the-code-extraction-rfc-user)  
 **How do I know which Authorization Group to add?**

1. Run transaction **SE11**(ABAP Dictionary: Initial Screen)
2. Type the **Database Table****name (1)**
3. Select **Display (2)**

4. In the upper menu, select **Utilities (1)**and then **Table Maintenance Generator (2)**

6. If this Authorization Group is not mentioned in [this article](/v1/docs/authorizations-required-for-the-code-extraction-rfc-user), for Object S_TABU_DIS, you will need to add it to the RFC user definition
7. Run the extractor
