• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message PEP051 - No authorization to change or display. ?

  The SAP error message PEP051, which states "No authorization to change or display," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting in the system. This error can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access or modify certain data, transactions, or objects within SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is that the user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations for the specific transaction or object they are trying to access.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects may not be assigned to the user’s role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to allow access to the required transactions or data.
  User Status: The user might be locked or inactive, which can also lead to authorization issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by navigating to the user management transaction (e.g., SU01) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Review Authorization Objects: Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for the transaction or action being performed. This can be done using transaction SU53, which shows the last authorization check and can help identify missing authorizations.
  Modify Roles: If the necessary authorizations are missing, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles to include the required authorization objects.
  Test Changes: After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  Consult Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
