• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message S_AUT058 - Logging in client &1 switched off (Start in Display mode) ?

  The SAP error message S_AUT058 indicates that logging into the specified client (denoted by &1) has been switched off, and as a result, the user can only start in display mode. This typically occurs when the client is set to a mode that restricts user access to certain functionalities, such as creating or modifying data.
  Cause:
  
  Client Settings: The client may be configured to allow only display access. This is often done for clients that are used for training, testing, or reporting purposes.
  User Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to perform actions other than display. This can be due to role assignments or restrictions set by the system administrator.
  Client Status: The client might be in a special status (like "Test" or "Training") that restricts write access.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Client Configuration:
  
  Verify the client settings in transaction SCC4. Ensure that the client is not set to "Display" mode. If it is, you may need to change it to "Modifiable" if appropriate.
  
  
  
  User Authorizations:
  
  Check the user roles and authorizations assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform the required actions. This can be done using transaction SU01 to view user details and PFCG to manage roles.
  
  
  
  Client Status:
  
  If the client is intended for development or production use, ensure that it is not in a restricted status. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team to change the client status if necessary.
  
  
  
  Contact System Administrator:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, contact your SAP system administrator for assistance. They can help you determine the cause and make the necessary adjustments.
