  The SAP error message /SCWM/EGF214 indicates that a user does not have the necessary cross-user authorization to access a specific object in the Extended Warehouse Management (EWM) cockpit. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform an action that requires permissions that are not granted to their user profile.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access the specified object in the EWM cockpit. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Roles: The user may not have been assigned the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for the cockpit and the specific object.
  Cross-User Authorization Settings: The system may have restrictions on cross-user access, meaning that certain actions or objects can only be accessed by specific users or roles.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the EWM system that restrict access to certain objects based on user roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user encountering the error.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include authorizations for the EWM cockpit and the specific object.

  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Review the relevant authorization objects and ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the EWM cockpit and the specific object.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  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 to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
