• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MI_MGMT058 - You do not have authorization to display a configuration ?

  The SAP error message MI_MGMT058 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific configuration. This typically occurs in the context of Material Management (MM) or Inventory Management (IM) modules, where users may need to access configuration settings related to materials, inventory, or other related areas.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user lacks the necessary authorization object that grants access to display configuration settings.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct role that includes the required permissions.
  Profile Issues: The user's profile may not be updated to include the necessary authorizations after changes were made to the system or roles.
  Transaction Restrictions: Certain transactions may have restrictions based on user roles, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the MI_MGMT058 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for displaying configurations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing.
  Look for specific authorization objects related to Material Management, such as M_MATE_WRK, M_MATE_MA, or others relevant to the configuration being accessed.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user's roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role and ensure that the user is assigned to this role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the transaction again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
