• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG065 - You are not authorized to execute this query in context &1 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG065 You are not authorized to execute this query in context &1 typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific query in the given context. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects, where queries are executed against data sources.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorizations to access the query or the data source it is trying to access.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary permissions for executing the query.
  Context-Specific Restrictions: The query may be restricted to certain contexts (e.g., specific organizational units, data sources, or user groups) that the user does not belong to.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to check the authorization check log. This will show which authorization object failed.
  Review the authorization objects related to the query execution, such as S_QUERY, S_BW_QUERY, or any other relevant objects.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned. This can be done through transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or request the necessary roles from your SAP security team.
  
  
  
  Modify Query or Context:
  
  If the query is context-specific, check if the user can be added to the required context or if the query can be modified to allow broader access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can provide insights into the specific authorizations required and help adjust roles as necessary.
