• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message VR003 - You only have authorization to display Customizing for list displays ?

  SAP Error Message:
  VR003 - You only have authorization to display Customizing for list displays
  
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs when a user tries to change or edit Customizing settings in a transaction or IMG activity but only has display authorization for Customizing. The user’s authorization profile includes only the display (read-only) rights for Customizing objects, not the change (write) rights.
  In SAP, authorizations for Customizing activities are controlled by specific authorization objects, such as S_TABU_DIS (Table Maintenance) or S_CTS_ADMI (Change and Transport System Administration), and also by activity fields that specify whether the user can display, change, or create entries.
  
  Explanation:
  
  The user is trying to perform a change or edit operation in Customizing.
  The user’s authorization allows only display (read-only) access.
  Hence, the system prevents the change and issues the VR003 message.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization check.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization
