  The SAP error message CACSMD453, which states "You are not authorized to display contract bundles," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access or view contract bundles in the SAP system. This can occur in various SAP modules, particularly in Contract Management or related areas.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to view contract bundles. This could be due to missing authorization objects or incorrect role assignments.
  User Profile Configuration: The user profile may not be configured correctly, leading to insufficient permissions.
  System Configuration: There may be system-wide settings that restrict access to certain functionalities based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.

  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, work with your SAP security team to modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the role is properly assigned to the user and that it has been activated.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
