• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5C675 - You only have authorization to display this account ?

  The SAP error message 5C675, which states "You only have authorization to display this account," typically indicates that the user attempting to access a specific account does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions beyond viewing the account details. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data security and integrity.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Role: The user’s assigned role does not include the necessary permissions to perform actions such as editing or posting transactions for the specified account.
  Account Type Restrictions: The account in question may have specific restrictions based on its type (e.g., customer, vendor, general ledger) that limit access.
  Profile Settings: The user profile may be set up to allow only display access for certain accounts or transactions.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the user’s assigned roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done by an administrator using transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Modify Authorizations: If the user requires additional permissions, an administrator can modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the specific account.
  Transaction Codes: Ensure that the user has the appropriate transaction codes assigned to their role that allow for the required actions (e.g., creating, changing, or deleting records).
  Consult Security Team: If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the necessary changes to your user profile.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to accounts, such as F_BKPF_BSA (Accounting Document) or F_LFA1_APL (Vendor Master).
  Audit Logs: Check audit logs or authorization trace (using transaction SU53) to identify which specific authorization is missing when the error occurs.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or internal guidelines on user roles and authorizations for more detailed procedures on managing access rights.
  
  By addressing the authorization settings, you should be able to resolve the error and gain the necessary access to perform the required actions on the account.
