• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message KT174 - You are only authorized to display data ?

  The SAP error message KT174, which states "You are only authorized to display data," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to perform the action they are attempting in the SAP system. This is a common issue related to user roles and permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations to perform the action (e.g., creating, changing, or deleting data).
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may be incorrectly configured or may not include the required transaction codes or object authorizations.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles, and the user may only have display access.
  
  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 you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to add the required authorizations.
  Contact Security Administrator: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management in your organization to request the necessary changes.
  Testing: After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to specific transactions or data. Common objects include S_TCODE (Transaction Codes) and S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations).
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to understand how they are structured in your organization.
  Audit Logs: If necessary, check audit logs to see if there are any patterns or repeated issues with user authorizations.
