• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1G049 - You have no authorization for changing. Display only possible ?

  The SAP error message 1G049 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to make changes to a particular object or transaction. Instead, the user is only permitted to display the information. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization roles and profiles are strictly enforced to maintain data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Roles: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to perform the change operation. This could be due to a missing authorization object in the user's profile.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on the user's assigned roles, preventing them from making changes.
  Object-Specific Permissions: The user may have display permissions but not change permissions for specific objects or data sets.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the user's assigned roles and authorizations using transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance). Ensure that the necessary roles are assigned that include change permissions for the relevant objects.
  Authorization Object: Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the restriction. This can be done by checking the transaction codes and the associated authorization objects.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional permissions, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the person responsible for managing user roles to request the necessary changes.
  Testing: After changes are made, the user should log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. They can then test the transaction again to see if the issue is resolved.
