• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IWP_BUR119 - You do not have authorization to display configuration &1 for reporting ?

  The SAP error message IWP_BUR119 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to display a specific configuration for reporting. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Integrated Business Planning (IBP) when a user attempts to access a report or configuration that they are not authorized to view.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorization in the user's role or profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object that grants access to the specific configuration.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions.
  Configuration Restrictions: The configuration itself may have restrictions that limit access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the IWP_BUR119 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the reporting configuration.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects related to reporting include S_BW_BCT (for BW) or S_BW_AUTH (for authorization checks).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorization is missing, you may need to modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust roles and add the required authorization objects.
  
  
  
  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 and grant the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access to the reporting configuration again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
