  The SAP error message CD023, which states "No display authorization for function group &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a function group or transaction for which they do not have the necessary display authorization. This can happen in various SAP modules, including those related to configuration, reporting, or custom development.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object to view or execute the function group.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific function group.
  Missing Authorizations: The authorization profile assigned to the user may be incomplete or missing specific authorizations related to the function group.
  
  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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the function group in question.
  If the role does not have the required authorizations, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user's role. Common authorization objects related to function groups include:
  
  S_TCODE: Transaction code authorization
  S_DEVELOP: Development authorization (for custom function groups)
  
  
  Ensure that the authorization values are set correctly to allow access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the function group you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
