• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F0048 - You are not authorized for the user display ?

  The SAP error message F0048, which states "You are not authorized for the user display," typically indicates that the user attempting to access a certain transaction or display user information does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to view user details in transaction SU01 or similar user management transactions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorization objects in their user profile to access the specific transaction or display user information.

  Authorization Objects: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to user display include:

  Role Adjustment: If the user does not have the required roles, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate authority should assign the necessary roles to the user.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Consult Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
