Authorizations for Role Resolution

Hello all,
 
I have a workflow that has two dialog tasks with no intervening background tasks.  When User1
executes the first task, the workflow fails on the role resolution of the second task ('5W 170 -
structure 1 S 600028118 WF_ORGUS. No Agent Found.'). This role resolution uses some standard SAP
functions to climb up and down the org structure.
 
The role resolution works fine when I test the role.  The workflow can process if I am the user
executing the first task.  The workflow can also proceed if I execute SWPR to restart the workflow
in error.
 
I had the Basis folks give User1 SAP_All and SAP_New (for a limited time!) and found that the error
went away. That is, User1 executed his dialog task, and the role resolution for the second task was
fine, the task was delivered to the appropriate user.  So we know that this is an authorization issue.
 
However, the question in my mind is, why would the authorizations of User1 have an impact on the
role resolution of the subsequent dialog task ?  Shouldn't that role resolution be carried out under
the auspices of WF-Batch ?
 
Thanks in advance,
Sue
