✕Common Mistakes
Der Zugriff ist nur für die Fehlerbehebung.
While grammatically possible, native speakers prefer the dative construction 'zur Fehlerbehebung' after 'nur'.
Nur der Zugriff ist zur Fehlerbehebung.
Placing 'nur' before the subject changes the meaning to 'Only the access is for troubleshooting', which is not intended.
Der Zugriff ist nur zur Fehler beheben.
Using the verb phrase instead of the noun breaks the required dative case after 'zur'.

Cultural Tip
In German business communication precision matters. 'Nur' is a neutral limiter, while 'ausschließlich' sounds stricter and more formal. 'Fehlerbehebung' is a standard technical term; in casual conversation you might hear 'Fehler beheben' instead. Also, the dative construction 'zur Fehlerbehebung' is the idiomatic way to express purpose after 'zu'.
