• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR026 - Changes cannot be made, display user only ?

  The SAP error message TR026 ("Changes cannot be made, display user only") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes in a transaction or application where their user role is restricted to display-only access. This means that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are trying to execute.
  Cause:
  
  User Role Restrictions: The user is assigned a role that only allows for display access, preventing any changes to be made.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the required authorizations in their profile to perform the action.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict certain transactions to specific user roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by checking the user profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Modify Authorizations: If the user needs to make changes, they may require additional authorizations. This can be done by an administrator using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to modify the user's roles or create a new role with the necessary permissions.
  Consult with Security Team: If you are not an administrator, contact your SAP security team or system administrator to review and adjust your user permissions.
  Use Appropriate Transactions: Ensure that the user is using the correct transaction codes that align with their authorization level.

  If the issue persists after checking roles and authorizations, further investigation may be required to identify any underlying system configuration issues.
