  The SAP error message OM804 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a specific transaction related to maintenance and display. This error typically occurs when a user attempts to access a transaction or function for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorizations for the transaction they are trying to access.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for the transaction are not assigned to the user’s profile.
  Transaction Restrictions: The transaction may be restricted based on user roles or profiles defined in the system.
  
  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 Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects required for the transaction. This can be done using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs, which shows the last authorization check and can help identify what is missing.
  Modify User Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
