  The SAP error message SO2_TOOL427, which states "You do not have the authorization to display the data," typically indicates that the user attempting to access certain data or functionality within the SAP system lacks the necessary authorizations or permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile to view the specific data or transaction.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorization objects that allow access to the data in question.

  Solution:

  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check which authorization object is missing.
  This transaction will show the last authorization check and can help identify what is lacking.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user’s roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
