• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RTCMMD079 - You are not authorized to display hierarchy & at & level ?

  The SAP error message RTCMMD079, which states "You are not authorized to display hierarchy & at & level," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a hierarchy in SAP that they do not have the necessary authorizations for. This can happen in various modules, such as SAP Material Management (MM) or SAP Controlling (CO), where hierarchies are used for reporting and analysis.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization to view the specific hierarchy or level of the hierarchy they are trying to access.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the hierarchy in question.
  Hierarchy Settings: The hierarchy itself may have specific settings that restrict access based on user roles or profiles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify 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 for the hierarchy.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_HIER (Hierarchy Authorization) or any other specific objects related to the hierarchy being accessed.
  
  
  
  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 to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that control access to hierarchies in your specific SAP module.
