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

  1. 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.
  2. Access app "Maintain Deleted Business Users". You will see listed users who have already been deleted.
  3. Select the business user you want to re-create.
  4. Click "Allow Re-creation".
  5. You can back to "Import Employee"/"Maintain business user" to create again.
