• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AQV796 - You are not authorized to translate query objects ?

  The SAP error message AQV796, which states "You are not authorized to translate query objects," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or modify query objects (like queries or reports) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Query without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to translate query objects. This can happen if the user role does not include the necessary permissions for translation activities.
  Missing Roles: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that grant access to the translation functions in the SAP system.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the query objects that prevent certain users from performing translation tasks.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles: Verify the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include authorization for translating query objects. This can be done by:
  
  Going to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Entering the user ID and checking the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations: If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to modify existing roles or create new roles that include the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the authorization object S_QUERY is included in the role with the appropriate activity (like 03 for display, 02 for change, etc.).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, test to see if the error persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
