Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 6G051 - No maintenance authorization -> Display only ?

  The SAP error message 6G051: No maintenance authorization -> Display only typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify a maintenance order or related object without having the necessary authorization. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization to perform maintenance activities on the order. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
  Object Status: The maintenance order may be in a status that restricts changes, allowing only display access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should update the user's roles to include the required authorizations for maintenance activities.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured to allow access to the relevant transactions and objects.
  
  
  
  Check Order Status:
  
  Verify the status of the maintenance order. If it is in a status that only allows display (e.g., completed or closed), you may need to change the status or create a new order if modifications are necessary.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing authorizations and roles to ensure compliance with security policies.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations and roles, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or system administrator for further assistance.

  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
