My apologies, I was using the command incorrectly. When I perform the groups command I see the following on that user:

> groups sidam
sapdata staff siddata

Of note, when reading this file from the Unix level, I can read both files as user sidadm. It's only when trying to read it from SAP via an external command to Unix that I recieve this error. The vendor believes it is a unix problem.

what user and group id is the sap program running.

since the user can read the data from outside the sap program it leads me to believe the program is running as a differnt uid/gid.

To expand on Optimus_P's comment, find that program and run "ls -l" on it.

I can perform the ls -l command on both files successfullly via SAP. Also, when I perform a whoami command via sap, sidadm is returned as the user. I'm stumped.....

ls -l on the program...not the data files...

Hi,

It seems that your problem is SAP related. You have probably added that "siddata" group for sidadm user without restarting SAP?

SAP is reading users group definitions only when it's started. Any changes made after that are not effective unless you restart your SAP application.
