Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER348 - You are not authorized to view the user data ?

  The SAP error message WEBFI_MASTER348: You are not authorized to view the user data typically occurs in the context of SAP Portal or SAP Web Dynpro applications when a user tries to access certain user-related data or profiles but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  
  Cause
  
  The user does not have the required authorization objects or roles assigned to view or access the requested user data.
  This can happen if the user is trying to access sensitive information such as other users' profiles, master data, or personal data without proper permissions.
  The authorization check fails in the backend system or portal framework, triggering this error message.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Identify the authorization objects related to user data access in the relevant SAP system (e.g., SAP ERP, SAP Portal).
  Common authorization objects involved might include:
  
  S_USER_GRP (User Groups)
  S_USER_PRO (User Profiles)
  S_USER_AUTH (User Authorizations)
  S_USER_TCD (Transaction Codes)
  
  
  Ensure the user has the necessary roles assigned that include these authorization objects with appropriate activity values (e.g., display/view).
  
  
  
  Assign Appropriate Roles:
  
  Use transaction PFCG to assign or adjust roles for the user.
  Roles should grant read/display access to user master data or profiles as required.
  If the user needs to view other users' data, ensure the roles cover the relevant user groups or organizational units.
  
  
  
  Check Portal or Web Dynpro Authorization:
  
  If the error occurs in SAP Portal or Web Dynpro applications, verify the portal roles and permissions.
  In SAP Enterprise Portal, check the iViews, pages, and roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure the user has the necessary permissions to access the content or services that display user data.
  
  
  
  Review Custom Authorization Checks:
  
  If custom code or enhancements are involved, check if there are additional authorization checks implemented.
  Adjust the authorization logic or roles accordingly.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After role adjustments, test the access again.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze missing authorizations.
