• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGWB026 - You are not authorized to display details ?

  The SAP error message UGWB026, which states "You are not authorized to display details," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to view certain details or data within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when trying to access specific transactions, reports, or data records.
  Cause:
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization roles or permissions assigned to the user. This can happen if:
  
  The user has not been assigned the necessary roles in the SAP system.
  The roles assigned do not include the required authorizations for the specific action or data being accessed.
  The user is trying to access data that is restricted based on organizational policies.
  
  
  
  Profile Configuration: Sometimes, the user profiles may not be configured correctly, leading to insufficient access rights.
  
  
  Transaction-Specific Restrictions: Certain transactions may have additional restrictions based on the user's organizational unit, position, or other criteria.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: The first step is to verify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done by:
  
  Navigating to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and checking the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensuring that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Check: If you have access to transaction SU53, you can check the last authorization check to see which specific authorization object is missing. This can provide insight into what needs to be adjusted.
  
  
  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user lacks the necessary roles or authorizations, they should contact their SAP security administrator or the relevant team to request the required access.
  
  
  Review Authorization Profiles: If you are an administrator, review the authorization profiles and ensure that they are correctly configured to allow access to the necessary transactions and data.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
