• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SU2X051 - &1 fields are not displayed due to insufficient authorizations. ?

  The SAP error message SU2X051 indicates that certain fields are not displayed because the user does not have sufficient authorizations to view them. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are in place to ensure that users can only access data and functions that they are permitted to.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user lacks the necessary authorizations assigned to their role or profile to view specific fields in a transaction or report.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific fields or objects.
  Field-Level Security: Some fields may have field-level security settings that restrict visibility based on user roles or authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see the last authorization check and identify which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If you have the necessary permissions, you can modify the user’s roles in PFCG to include the missing authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles are properly assigned to the user and that they include the necessary authorization objects for the fields in question.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the transaction you were trying to access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, test the transaction again to ensure that the fields are now visible.
