• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT671 - No authorization to display the technical settings for & ?

  The SAP error message DT671, which states "No authorization to display the technical settings for &," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view the technical settings of a specific object, such as a table, view, or other data structure in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view the technical settings. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The specific object (indicated by the "&" in the message) may have restrictions that prevent certain users from accessing its technical details.
  Profile Configuration: The user’s profile may not be configured correctly to allow access to the necessary transaction codes or objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can add the required authorization objects to the user’s roles using transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant authorization objects, such as S_TABU_DIS (for table display) or S_TABU_CLI (for client-specific table access).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the object you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, try to access the technical settings again.
