  The SAP error message DHCDC_AUTH014 indicates that a user is not authorized to display logging tables. This typically occurs in the context of data logging or change document logging, where specific authorizations are required to access certain tables or logs.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user trying to access the logging tables. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user does not have the necessary authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user do not include the necessary permissions to view the logging tables.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow access to the required transaction or data.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for accessing logging tables.
  Look for authorization objects related to logging, such as S_DATA, S_TABU_DIS, or any specific logging-related objects.
  
  
  
  Add Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you can either modify the existing role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Ensure that the authorization object S_DATA is included with the appropriate activity (e.g., display) for the relevant logging tables.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required authorizations.
