• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CRM_BRC_MESSAGES049 - Your user master record only authorizes you to display data ?

  The SAP error message CRM_BRC_MESSAGES049 indicates that the user master record has limited authorizations, specifically allowing only display access to certain data. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Customer Relationship Management (CRM) when a user attempts to perform an action that requires more than just display permissions, such as creating, modifying, or deleting records.
  Cause:
  
  User Role Configuration: The user role assigned to the user does not include the necessary authorizations for the action they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects that control access to specific transactions or data may not be included in the user's profile.
  Profile Assignment: The user may be assigned a profile that is intended for read-only access, which restricts them from making changes.
  
  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 they include the necessary permissions for the actions they need to perform.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the appropriate roles, you may need to assign additional roles that provide the required authorizations.
  This may involve working with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure that the user has the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the actions the user is trying to perform.
  Use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check and see which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  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 message no longer appears.
