  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS019 - You do not have authorization to change the data (only display) ?
    The SAP error message CMS019, which states "You do not have authorization to change the data (only display)," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific action, such as modifying or changing data in the system. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
    
    Cause: Authorization Roles: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to change the data. This could be due to the way roles are configured in the SAP system. Object Level Security: The user may have display-only access to certain objects or transactions, which restricts them from making changes. Transaction-Specific Restrictions: Some transactions may have specific authorizations that are not included in the user's assigned roles. Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to allow for data modification.
    Solution: Check User Roles: Review the user’s assigned roles
