• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BDL/D-203 - You have read permission only ?

  The SAP error message /BDL/D-203 You have read permission only typically indicates that the user attempting to perform an action does not have the necessary authorization to execute that action. This is common in systems where user roles and permissions are strictly enforced to ensure data integrity and security.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary permissions to perform the action they are trying to execute (e.g., creating, modifying, or deleting records).
  Read-Only Access: The user may have been granted read-only access to certain transactions or data objects, which restricts them from making changes.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly, or the necessary authorizations may not have been included in the role.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user requires additional permissions, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate authority should modify the user’s roles in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the necessary authorizations.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Test the action again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
