• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FVD_CAPTR281 - You only have display authorization, creation is not possible ?

  The SAP error message FVD_CAPTR281 indicates that the user attempting to perform a certain action (likely creating or modifying a record) does not have the necessary authorization to do so. Instead, the user only has display authorization, which means they can view the data but cannot create or change it.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary permissions to create or modify the specific object or transaction in SAP.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required authorizations.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to the transaction may not be included in the user's profile.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can be done by using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) to check the user’s profile.
  Review Authorizations: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Modify Roles: If the user requires creation rights, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the necessary authorizations. This may involve:
  
  Adding the relevant authorization objects to the user’s role.
  Ensuring that the role is properly assigned to the user.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the transaction again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functions. Each object can have multiple fields that define the specific permissions required.
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as:
  
  SU01: User Maintenance
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  PFCG: Role Maintenance (to manage roles and authorizations)
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.
  
  If the issue persists after checking and updating the authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP security team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
