  The SAP error message CCSEC007: "You are not authorized to display credit card numbers" typically occurs when a user attempts to access or view credit card information in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization roles or permissions to view sensitive information such as credit card numbers.
  Security Settings: The system is configured to restrict access to credit card information for security and compliance reasons.
  User Role Configuration: The user’s role may not include the necessary authorizations related to credit card data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Review the user’s assigned roles and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate role that includes access to credit card information.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user requires access, an administrator should modify the user’s role to include the necessary authorizations.
  This may involve adding specific authorization objects related to credit card data access (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BSA).
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to request the necessary access.
  Provide justification for why access is needed, as this may be subject to compliance and security policies.
  
  
  
  Review Security Policies:
  
  Ensure that the request for access aligns with the organization’s security policies regarding sensitive data handling.
  
  
  
  Testing:
