• 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.
