• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WR039 - You are not authorized to display data ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WR039 - You are not authorized to display data
  
  Cause:
  The error message WR039 occurs when a user tries to display certain data or reports in SAP but lacks the necessary authorization. This typically happens because the user's assigned roles or profiles do not include the required authorization objects or activity permissions to view the requested data.
  
  Explanation:
  
  SAP enforces strict authorization checks to ensure data security and compliance.
  When a user attempts to access a transaction, report, or data set, the system checks if the user has the appropriate authorizations.
  If the user does not have the required authorization, SAP throws the WR039 error indicating that the user is not authorized to display the data.
  
  
  Common Scenarios:
  
  Accessing sensitive financial or HR data without proper roles.
  Viewing reports or data sets restricted by organizational level or data authorization groups.
  Trying to display data in modules like FI, CO, MM, SD, or HR where authorizations are tightly controlled.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Identify Missing Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to display the last authorization check failure.
  This will show which authorization object and field values are missing or insufficient.
  
  
  
  Check User Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction SU01 to check the roles assigned to the user.
  Use PFCG to review the roles and their authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  Add or modify the necessary authorization objects and field values in the user's roles.
  For example, if the missing authorization is for an object like S_TCODE (transaction code), ensure the user has access to the relevant transaction.
  If the authorization object relates to organizational levels (e.g., company code, plant), ensure the user has the correct values assigned.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  After adjusting roles, transport the changes to the production system if necessary.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  Have the user try again to access the data to confirm the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction SU53: Displays the last authorization check failure for the current user.
  Transaction SU01: User maintenance.
  Transaction PFCG: Role maintenance.
  Authorization Objects: Check which objects are relevant for the transaction or data being accessed.
  SAP Notes: Sometimes specific SAP Notes provide additional guidance for authorization issues related to certain modules or transactions.
  
  
  Summary:
  
  WR039 means the user lacks authorization to display requested data.
  Use SU53 to identify missing authorizations.
  Adjust user roles and authorizations accordingly.
  Ensure proper testing after changes.
