• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 01877 - You are not authorized to display users ?

  The SAP error message "01877 You are not authorized to display users" typically indicates that the user attempting to access user information does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is commonly encountered in transactions related to user management, such as SU01 (User Maintenance) or SUIM (User Information System).
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to view user details. This could be due to missing roles or profiles that grant access to user management functions.
  Profile Restrictions: The user's assigned profile may not include the necessary permissions to display user information.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to a role that includes the necessary authorizations for user display.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user encountering the error. Ensure that the user has been assigned roles that include the necessary authorizations for user display.

  Request Additional Authorizations: If the user requires access to display user information, they should request additional authorizations from the SAP security team or system administrator.
