• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message F4157 - No authorization for displaying customer changes in group & ?

  The SAP error message F4157 ("No authorization for displaying customer changes in group &") typically indicates that a user is attempting to access or display changes made to customer data in a specific change document group for which they do not have the necessary authorization.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to view changes in the specified customer change document group.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions to access the change logs for customer data.
  Configuration Settings: The system may be configured in such a way that certain groups of changes are restricted to specific user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorization, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects.
  The relevant authorization object for customer changes is typically F_BKPF_BSA (for accounting documents) or F_KNA1_AEN (for customer master data changes). Ensure that the user has the appropriate values assigned to these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
