• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WP792 - You have no authorization to display credit card numbers ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WP792 - You have no authorization to display credit card numbers
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs because the user trying to display credit card information does not have the necessary authorization. In SAP, access to sensitive data such as credit card numbers is protected by specific authorization objects. If the user’s role or profile lacks these authorizations, the system prevents access and issues the WP792 message.
  
  Explanation:
  
  Credit card data is considered sensitive and is protected under strict security and compliance rules (e.g., PCI DSS).
  SAP controls access to credit card information via authorization objects, typically V_VBRK_CCV or similar, depending on the module and system version.
  Without the proper authorization, the system restricts display or processing of credit card numbers to prevent unauthorized access.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the user who received the error.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed.
  Alternatively, use ST01 (authorization trace) to trace the missing authorization.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Authorization:
  
  The key authorization object related to credit card display is usually V_VBRK_CCV or V_VBRK_CCV (depending on system/version).
  This object controls the display of credit card data.
  The user’s role must include this authorization with the appropriate activity (usually activity 03 = Display).
  
  
  
  Update Roles/Profiles:
  
  Work with your SAP Security team to add the missing authorization to the user’s role.
  After role update, have the user log off and log back in to refresh authorizations.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After authorization is granted, test the transaction again to confirm the user can now display credit card numbers.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Authorization Object:  
  
  V_VBRK_CCV (Display Credit Card Data)

  Transactions where this might occur:  
  
  Billing document display (VF03)  
  Customer master data display  
  Credit card processing transactions
  
  
  
  Security Note:  
  
  Always ensure that only authorized personnel have access to credit card data to comply with data protection regulations.
  Review roles regularly to maintain least privilege principle.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes:  
  
  Check SAP Notes related to credit card authorization for your specific SAP version for any updates or patches.
