  The SAP error message /RPM/ITEM006 Not authorized for display typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to view a specific item or transaction in the SAP system. This error is commonly encountered in the context of SAP's Resource and Portfolio Management (RPM) module or similar applications.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user’s role does not include the necessary permissions to display the item or transaction.
  Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for the specific transaction or item are not assigned to the user’s profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  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 display permissions for the relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization objects are missing.
  This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  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 issue is resolved.
