• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BT174 - You are not authorized to display authorizations for user & ?

  The SAP error message BT174 indicates that a user is attempting to display authorization information for another user but does not have the necessary permissions to do so. This is a common issue in SAP systems where authorization checks are strictly enforced to maintain security and data integrity.
  
  Cause:
  The error occurs because:
  
  The user lacks the required authorization object to view the authorizations of the specified user.
  The system is configured to restrict access to sensitive information, such as user authorizations, to prevent unauthorized access.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user attempting to view the authorizations has the necessary permissions. This typically involves checking the authorization objects related to user management, such as S_USER_AUTH or S_USER_PRO (depending on your specific SAP configuration).
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary authorizations, you may need to assign them a role that includes the required permissions.
