• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FEH_BASIS003 - No authorization to edit the payload; change to display mode ?

  The SAP error message FEH_BASIS003 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to edit the payload in a specific application or transaction. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or SAP Gateway applications where users are trying to modify data but lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the appropriate roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to perform edit operations on the payload.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or application.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be restrictions on certain objects or fields that prevent editing based on the user's role.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include edit permissions for the relevant application.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for editing the payload. This can be done by checking the documentation for the application or by consulting with your SAP security team.
  Common authorization objects that may be relevant include S_TCODE, S_USER_AUTH, and others specific to the application.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Assignments:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their role assignments or create a new role that includes the required permissions.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the user can now edit the payload.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific application or module to understand any additional requirements or configurations that may be necessary.
