What causes this issue?

Only password based logon should be allowed for the OAuth 2.0 Client
user. Therefore the system checks if the OAuth 2.0 Client user has a
valid password. Because of this check the administrator requires the
authorization to display the password existence status of another user
(the user of the OAuth 2.0 Client).
The authorization S_USER_GRP with activity 03 is required to display
other user's password status.

System Response

The system reports an error message.

How to fix this error?

Assign authorization S_USER_GRP with activity 03 to the administrator
user.
If the OAuth 2.0 Client user has a user group assigned, the
administrator user must have the authorization S_USER_GRP with ACTVT =
03 and CLASS = <user group of the OAuth 2.0 Client user>.

Procedure for System Administrators

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
