• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_UM061 - You do not have authorization to read others' user detail ?

  The SAP error message /IWBEP/CM_MGW_UM061 indicates that a user is attempting to access user details of another user without having the necessary authorization. This typically occurs in the context of OData services or when using the SAP Gateway framework.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to read the details of other users. In SAP, user authorizations are managed through roles and profiles, and specific permissions are required to access user-related data.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user profile of the user encountering the error.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations to access user details.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  If the user does not have the required authorizations, you may need to assign a role that includes the necessary permissions. This could involve:
  
  Adding the user to a role that has the S_USER_AUTH authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for display).
  Ensuring that the role has access to the relevant OData services.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization object that may be relevant is S_USER_AUTH (User Master Maintenance: Authorizations). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for this object.
  You can also check for other related authorization objects that might restrict access to user details.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the functionality again to confirm that the error is resolved.
