• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7811 - No authorization for maintaining the InfoCube ?

  The SAP error message R7811, which states "No authorization for maintaining the InfoCube," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform actions related to an InfoCube (such as creating, modifying, or deleting) without having the necessary authorizations. This is a common issue in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) environments.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user for the specific InfoCube or the related objects. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for InfoCube maintenance.
  InfoCube-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions set on the InfoCube that limit access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R7811 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.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for InfoCube maintenance.
  Look for authorization objects such as S_RS_COMP (for InfoProviders) and S_RS_AUTH (for reporting authorizations).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary permissions for the InfoCube in question.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., from development to production) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary access to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects for BW and InfoCubes, such as S_RS_COMP, S_RS_AUTH, and others that may be relevant to your specific BW setup.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance on authorization problems related to InfoCubes.
