• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CMS023 - No authorization to display the data ?

  The SAP error message CMS023 ("No authorization to display the data") typically indicates that a user does not have the necessary permissions to view certain data within the SAP system. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP's Content Management System (CMS) or when accessing specific reports, transactions, or data objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects or roles that grant access to the specific data or transaction.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Data Restrictions: There may be restrictions on the data based on organizational levels, such as company codes, plants, or other criteria.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles that include the required authorizations are assigned.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to display the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed and why.
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to request additional roles or authorizations from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) to include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security or basis team for assistance. Provide them with the details of the error and any relevant information from the SU53 transaction.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, test the access again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
