• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SSCR401 - Display only ?

  The SAP error message SSCR401, which states "Display only," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify an object in the SAP system but does not have the necessary authorization to do so. This message is part of the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) and is related to the system's security and authorization settings.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorization: The user does not have the required authorizations to change the object. This can happen if the user is assigned a role that only allows display access.
  Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer may be set to a status that restricts changes.
  Object Locking: The object may be locked for changes by another user or process.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in transaction code SU53 or SUIM. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify the object in question.
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator should be contacted to grant the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Layer Settings:
  
  Check the transport layer settings in transaction code SE03 or SE09. Ensure that the transport layer is configured to allow changes.
  If the transport layer is set to "Display Only," it may need to be adjusted to allow changes.
  
  
  
  Check Object Locking:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check if the object is locked by another user. If it is, you may need to wait until the lock is released or contact the user who has locked the object.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are trying to modify. There may be additional considerations or restrictions based on the object type.
