• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FB_RC028 - You are not authorized to display contact person data ?

  The SAP error message FB_RC028, which states "You are not authorized to display contact person data," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view the contact person information in the SAP system. This can occur in various transactions where contact person data is relevant, such as vendor or customer master data.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object to access contact person data. This is often related to the user's role or profile in the SAP system.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to view contact person data.
  Missing Authorization Objects: Specific authorization objects related to contact person data (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_BKPF_BSA) may not be included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include access to contact person data.
  Authorization Check: Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization was missing. This transaction provides a detailed report of the authorization check that failed.
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or SAP Basis team member should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Objects: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are included in the user's role. This may involve adding objects related to vendor or customer master data access.
  Testing: After making changes to the user's roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
