• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R1277 - No authorization to display partner in role &1 ?

  The SAP error message R1277, which states "No authorization to display partner in role &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a partner (such as a customer, vendor, or business partner) in a specific role for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object to view the partner in the specified role.
  Role Configuration: The role assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to access the partner data.
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly set up to include the required roles or authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to the partner role in question (e.g., F_BKPF_BSA, F_LFA1_APP, etc.).
  
  
  
  Adjust User Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles using transaction PFCG. Ensure that the role assigned to the user includes the necessary authorizations for the partner role in question.
  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator to request the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation:
  
  Ensure that any changes made to user roles or authorizations are documented for future reference and compliance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to partner roles. This can include objects related to business partners, customers, vendors, etc.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization problems.
  Training: Consider providing training for users on how to request access or report authorization issues effectively.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, it may be necessary to engage with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
