• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E2018 - You have no authorization to display this object ?

  The SAP error message E2018, which states "You have no authorization to display this object," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to access a specific object or transaction within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to view a report, access a transaction, or display a specific data object.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user role assigned to the individual does not include the necessary authorizations for the object they are trying to access.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have been assigned the correct role or profile that includes the required permissions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the object itself that prevent certain users from viewing it.
  Changes in Authorization: Recent changes in the authorization roles or profiles may have inadvertently removed access.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check. This transaction will show what authorizations were checked and which ones failed, providing insight into what is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: These are specific checks that SAP performs to determine if a user has the right to perform certain actions. Common authorization objects include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes), S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations), and others depending on the context.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01 - User Maintenance
  PFCG - Role Maintenance
  SU53 - Authorization Check
  ST01 - System Trace (for deeper analysis)
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the E2018 error and implement a solution to resolve the authorization issue.
