• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message H1028 - You only have authorization to display this object ?

  The SAP error message H1028, which states "You only have authorization to display this object," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the action they are attempting on a specific object (such as a transaction, report, or data record) in the SAP system. This is a common issue related to user roles and authorizations in SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to modify or create the object in question.
  Authorization Object Restrictions: The specific authorization object that governs access to the transaction or data may not be assigned to the user’s profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow the required actions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the last authorization check. This will show which authorization object failed and why.
  
  
  Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for specific authorization objects related to the transaction or object in question.
  
  
  Related Information:
