Summary :
When configuring Web service consumer and provider objects in SAP NetWeaver, users may encounter authorization issues denoted by error messages related to specific authorization objects. This issue arises from advanced authorization checks introduced in recent releases for protected WS configuration environments. Solutions include using the SAP_BC_WEBSERVICE_CONFIGURATOR role, which encompasses necessary authorizations for transactions like SOAMANAGER, WSCONFIG, WSADMIN, and LPCONFIG. Users must ensure this role is up-to-date and can verify this via transaction PFCG, adjusting where necessary to fit their specific needs. Copies and updates to the role should be consistently managed in user accounts.
