    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
