• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IWFND/CM_LTRO003 - You are not authorized to read '&1' '&2' ?

  The SAP error message /IWFND/CM_LTRO003 indicates that a user is not authorized to read a specific resource in the context of an OData service. This error typically arises in the SAP Gateway framework when a user attempts to access an OData service or entity set for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorization object or role assigned to access the specified resource.
  Service Activation: The OData service may not be properly activated or registered in the SAP Gateway.
  Entity Set Restrictions: The entity set being accessed may have specific restrictions based on user roles or authorizations.
  Backend Authorization: The backend system may have additional authorization checks that are not satisfied by the user's roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary roles assigned. You can do this by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for the OData service being accessed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects required for the OData service. This can often be found in the service documentation or by checking the service implementation.
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed.
  
  
  
  Activate OData Service:
  
  Ensure that the OData service is activated in the SAP Gateway. You can check this in transaction /IWFND/MAINT_SERVICE.
  If the service is not active, you can add it and activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Service Implementation:
  
  Review the implementation of the OData service to ensure that there are no additional checks or filters that might restrict access based on user roles.
  
  
  
  Backend System Authorization:
  
  If the OData service interacts with a backend system (like an ABAP system), ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations in that system as well.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis or Security Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP Basis or Security team to review the authorization setup and make necessary adjustments.
