• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TB114 - No maintenance authorization for transaction SM30. Display only ?

  The SAP error message TB114 "No maintenance authorization for transaction SM30. Display only" typically occurs when a user attempts to access transaction SM30 (which is used for maintaining table views) but does not have the necessary authorizations to perform maintenance activities on the specified table/view.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to perform maintenance on the table/view in question. This can happen if the user is not assigned the appropriate roles or if the roles do not include the necessary authorizations.
  Transaction Restrictions: The system may be configured to restrict certain transactions based on user roles or profiles, leading to limited access.
  Display-Only Mode: The user may only have display access, which means they can view the data but cannot make any changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the authorization for maintenance of the specific table/view.
  Authorization Objects: Check the relevant authorization objects, particularly S_TABU_DIS (for table display) and S_TABU_CLI (for table maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user does not have the required authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user management to request the necessary access.
  Use Transaction SU53: If the user encounters this error, they can use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the authorization check that failed. This can provide insights into which specific authorizations are missing.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or internal guidelines regarding user roles and authorizations to ensure compliance with security policies.
  
  Related Information:
