  The SAP error message EE_IU_BI017 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a back-end system. This error typically occurs in scenarios where SAP Business Intelligence (BI) or SAP Business Warehouse (BW) is trying to connect to a back-end system (like SAP ERP or SAP BW) and the user lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary roles or authorizations assigned to access the back-end system.
  Incorrect User Mapping: The user might not be correctly mapped in the back-end system.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific actions they are trying to perform.
  System Configuration: There may be configuration issues in the connection settings between the BI system and the back-end system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned in the back-end system. This can be done by checking the user’s profile in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific transactions or data they are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles or create a custom role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Common authorizations that may be required include access to specific InfoProviders, queries, or data sources.
  
  
  
  Check User Mapping:
  
  Ensure that the user is correctly mapped in the back-end system. This may involve checking the user ID and ensuring it matches between the BI and back-end systems.
  
  
  
  Review Connection Settings:

  This can include verifying the RFC destination settings in transaction SM59.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
