SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: EYE - Messages in queries for analysis authorizations

• Message number: 019

• Message text: No authority for the node from characteristic &1, hierarchy &2 (&3,&4)

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

What causes this issue?

The system has determined the authorized areas (nodes) for the
characteristic &v1& and the hierarchy &v2& (&v3&,&v4&). It also
determined that you do not have authorization for any of these areas.

System Response

If this situation was determined while a variable was being filled, the
query cannot be executed or the hierarchy is not displayed.

How to fix this error?

You have to have authorization for at least one node or leaf for the
characteristic &v1& and the hierarchy &v2& (&v3&,&v4&) so that
something can be displayed.
If the selection only comprises end nodes ("leaves") and all of these
leaves are covered by value authorizations, a query result is still
displayed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EYE019 - No authority for the node from characteristic &1, hierarchy &2 (&3,&4) ?

  The SAP error message EYE019 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific node in a hierarchy defined by a characteristic. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when users attempt to access data or reports that require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to access the specified node in the hierarchy.
  Hierarchy Configuration: The hierarchy may not be properly configured, or the user may not be assigned to the relevant authorization groups.
  Characteristic Restrictions: The characteristic associated with the hierarchy may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing certain nodes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EYE019 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 to analyze the authorization check after the error occurs. This will show you which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary access to the characteristic and hierarchy.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations for the characteristic and hierarchy.
  Ensure that the role includes the relevant authorization objects, such as S_RS_COMP for reporting and S_BI_WA for BW authorizations.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Check the hierarchy settings in the InfoObject maintenance (transaction RSD1) to ensure that the hierarchy is correctly defined and that the user is assigned to the appropriate authorization groups.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect.
  Test the access again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
