• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RX087 - You have switched to the display mode of the user assignment ?

  The SAP error message RX087, which states "You have switched to the display mode of the user assignment," typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to user assignments or roles in a system where they only have display permissions. This message indicates that the system has switched the user to a read-only mode, preventing any modifications.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to make changes to user assignments or roles.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict certain actions based on user roles or profiles.
  Transaction Mode: The user may have inadvertently entered a transaction that is set to display mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to modify user assignments. This can be done by reviewing the user's role assignments and authorizations in the SAP system.
  Request Role Change: If the user does not have the necessary permissions, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management to request the required roles or authorizations.
  Use the Correct Transaction: Make sure that the user is using the correct transaction code that allows for editing user assignments. For example, using transaction codes like SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) should be done with the right permissions.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, user assignments may be locked by another user or process. Ensure that there are no locks preventing changes.
