• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message LM014 - You are not authorized to display the limits for limit type & ?

  The SAP error message LM014 indicates that a user is not authorized to display the limits for a specific limit type. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's limit management functionality, which is often used in financial or project management modules.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view the limits associated with the specified limit type. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Limit Type Configuration: The limit type specified in the error message may not be configured correctly, or the user may not have access to that specific limit type.
  User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct organizational units or may not have the necessary permissions to access the data related to the limit type.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the limit type in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for the limit type.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to limit management (e.g., S_LIM_TY, S_LIM_AUTH) are included in the user's roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Test again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to limit types. Common objects include:
  
  S_LIM_TY: Authorization for limit types.
  S_LIM_AUTH: Authorization for limit management.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on limit management and authorization concepts.
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SE93: Transaction codes and their authorization checks.
