• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CU078 - You are not authorized to display this dependency (see &1) ?

  The SAP error message CU078 indicates that a user is not authorized to display a specific dependency in the system. This typically occurs in the context of configuration management, where certain dependencies (like configuration objects, characteristics, or classes) are restricted based on user roles and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to view the specified dependency. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The dependency might be restricted to certain users or roles, and the current user does not belong to those groups.
  Configuration Settings: The system may have specific settings that limit access to certain configuration objects based on organizational policies.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for displaying dependencies are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the specific dependencies they need to access.
  Ensure that the role includes access to the relevant transaction codes and objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
