  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR184 - View & only has read authorization ?

    The SAP error message TR184 indicates that a user is attempting to access a transaction or view for which they only have read authorization. This typically occurs when a user tries to perform an action that requires more than just read access, such as creating, modifying, or deleting records.

    Cause:

    1. Authorization Issues: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to perform the action they are attempting.
    2. Missing Authorization Objects: The required authorization objects for the transaction or view are not assigned to the user.
    3. Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be properly configured to include the necessary permissions.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.

    2. Review Authorization Objects: Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization objects are missing. This transaction provides a detailed report of the authorization check that failed.

    3. Modify Roles: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles using transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to include the required authorization objects.

    4. Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.

    5. Testing: After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.

    Related Information:

    • Authorization Concept: SAP uses a role-based authorization concept where users are assigned roles that contain specific authorizations. Understanding this concept is crucial for troubleshooting authorization issues.
    • Transaction Codes:
      • SU01: User Maintenance
      • SU53: Display Authorization Check
      • PFCG: Role Maintenance
    • Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization’s internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TR184 error and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to perform their tasks.
