• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TXX059 - No authorization to display the view definition ?

  The SAP error message TXX059, which states "No authorization to display the view definition," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a database view or a table view in the SAP system without having the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to access a transaction, report, or data model that involves a view.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary permissions to view the definition of the database view or the underlying data structure.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SUIM to analyze user roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations to access the view definition. This may involve checking the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. This typically involves:
  
  Adding the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_TABU_DIS for table/view access).
  Ensuring that the authorization for the specific view or table is included.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, you may need to consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists.
