Cause
The cause of the error message "You are not authorized to display users" is your user roles missing a business catalog "SAP_CORE_BC_IAM_UMD".
That means the user you want to create has been deleted before. When you have the "User Management of Deleted Users" role, you can re-create the user.
Resolution
- Please assign the Business Roles which contains catalog SAP_CORE_BC_IAM_UMD to the corresponding user, and you will get authorization to see the deleted business users.
- Access app "Maintain Deleted Business Users". You will see listed users who have already been deleted.
- Select the business user you want to re-create.
- Click "Allow Re-creation".
- You can back to "Import Employee"/"Maintain business user" to create again.
