  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IR017 - No change authorization -> only display possible ?
    The SAP error message IR017 ("No change authorization -> only display possible") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a record or object in SAP but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed to ensure data integrity and security.
    
    Cause: Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization object or role that allows them to make changes to the specific transaction or data. Role Configuration: The user's role may be configured to allow only display access for certain transactions or data types. Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions that prevent changes unless the user has been granted explicit permissions.
    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 and assigned roles. Review
