• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message M5860 - Display only, no maintenance authorization ?

  The SAP error message M5860 "Display only, no maintenance authorization" typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify data in a transaction or report for which they do not have the necessary authorization. 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 does not have the required authorization object to perform maintenance (create, change, or delete) on the specific data or transaction.
  Role Assignment: The user's role may not include the necessary permissions for the specific transaction or data set.
  Display-Only Mode: The transaction or report is configured to allow only display access for certain users based on their roles.
  
  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 Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the transaction or data access. This can be done by consulting with your SAP security team or using transaction SU53 to analyze the last authorization check.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires additional permissions, they should request the necessary authorizations from their SAP security administrator or role owner.
  Transaction Configuration: If applicable, check if the transaction or report can be configured to allow maintenance access for the user or role in question.
  Testing: After adjustments are made, have the user log out and back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
