  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WZ614 - You do not have authorization to display standard text & ?

    SAP Error Message:
    WZ614 - You do not have authorization to display standard text &


    Cause:

    This error occurs when a user tries to display or access a standard text in SAP but lacks the necessary authorization. Standard texts are managed in SAP using transaction codes like SO10, and access to these texts is controlled by specific authorizations.

    The key reason for this error is that the user does not have the required authorization object(s) or the correct values in those objects to display the standard text.


    Authorization Objects Involved:

    • S_STD_TEXT: This is the primary authorization object controlling access to standard texts.
      • Activity (ACTVT): Controls what actions can be performed (e.g., display, change).
      • Text ID (TDID): The ID of the standard text.
      • Text Object (TDOBJECT): The object to which the text belongs (e.g., VBBP, VBRK, etc.).
      • Text Name (TDNAME): The name of the standard text.

    Solution:

    1. Check User Authorizations:

      • Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed.
      • Alternatively, use ST01 (Authorization Trace) to trace the authorization check.
    2. Grant Required Authorization:

      • Ensure the user has the S_STD_TEXT authorization object with the appropriate values:
        • ACTVT: At least '03' (Display).
        • TDOBJECT: The relevant text object(s) the user needs access to.
        • TDID and TDNAME: If necessary, restrict or allow specific text IDs or names.
    3. Update Role(s):

      • Modify the user's role(s) in PFCG to include the required authorizations.
      • After updating, have the user log off and log back in to refresh authorizations.
    4. Check Standard Text Settings:

      • Verify that the standard text exists and is not locked or deleted.
      • Confirm that the user is trying to access the correct text object and text ID.

    Additional Information:

    • Standard texts are often used in output messages, forms, or other SAP documents.
    • Authorization to display standard texts is separate from authorization to create or change them.
    • If the user only needs to display texts, only display authorization (ACTVT = 03) is required.
    • If the user needs to create or edit texts, additional activities like 01 (Create) or 02 (Change) are needed.
    • Sometimes, the error can also occur if the standard text is linked to a business object the user is not authorized to access.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Error WZ614 - No authorization to display standard text
    Cause Missing or insufficient authorization for S_STD_TEXT object
    Authorization Object S_STD_TEXT (ACTVT, TDOBJECT, TDID, TDNAME)
    Solution Grant display authorization (ACTVT=03) for relevant text objects and IDs in user roles
    Tools to Diagnose SU53, ST01, PFCG

    If you need help identifying the exact authorization values, check the standard text's object and ID in SO10 or the related application, then update the user's role accordingly.
