• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DG820 - You are not authorized to display data for object &1 ?

  The SAP error message DG820, which states "You are not authorized to display data for object &1," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified object in the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to view data in a transaction, report, or other SAP application.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or the necessary permissions to view the data associated with the specified object.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object that prevent certain users from accessing it.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  If you have access, you can also use transaction SUIM (User Information System) to analyze user authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user authorizations in your organization.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to user roles and authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
