• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOFU/AUTH_CHECK002 - Only display authorization ?

  The SAP error message /BOFU/AUTH_CHECK002 Only display authorization typically indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action that requires more than just display authorization in the SAP system. This error is related to authorization checks that are part of the SAP security model, specifically in the context of the Business Objects Financials (BOFU) module.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the requested action. They may only have display rights, which means they can view data but cannot modify or create it.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the action they are trying to perform.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions that require specific authorizations beyond just display access.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object: Identify the specific authorization object that is causing the issue. You can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorizations.
  Consult Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that pertain to the actions the user is trying to perform. Common objects include S_TCODE for transaction codes and specific objects related to the BOFU module.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal documentation for specific details on the roles and authorizations required for different transactions within the BOFU module.
  Audit Logs: Check audit logs or authorization logs to see if there are patterns of authorization failures that could indicate broader issues with role assignments.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the /BOFU/AUTH_CHECK002 Only display authorization error and ensure that users have the appropriate access to perform their tasks in the SAP system.
