• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BW_BICS_EQ045 - No authority for query &1 ?

  The SAP error message BW_BICS_EQ045 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to execute a specific query in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises when a user attempts to run a query for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization for the user to access the specific query or the underlying data objects (like InfoProviders, InfoObjects, etc.) associated with that query. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned in their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the query or the data sources it accesses.
  Query-Specific Restrictions: The query itself may have specific restrictions that limit access based on user roles or characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the BW_BICS_EQ045 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to review the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the relevant InfoProviders and queries.
  Check the authorization objects related to SAP BW queries, such as S_BW_QUERY, S_BW_AUTH, and others that may be relevant to the specific query.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones to include the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Test the Query:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user attempt to run the query again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles and authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user receives the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for SAP BW queries, as these will be crucial in troubleshooting and resolving authorization issues.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to BW authorization issues, as they may provide additional insights or solutions.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user roles and authorizations in BW to understand how to properly configure access.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the authorization issue causing the BW_BICS_EQ045 error.
