• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7813 - No authorization for displaying the InfoObject catalog ?

  The SAP error message R7813, which states "No authorization for displaying the InfoObject catalog," typically occurs when a user attempts to access the InfoObject catalog in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) without the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization in the user's role or profile. Specifically, the user lacks the necessary permissions to view the InfoObject catalog, which is a collection of InfoObjects (like characteristics, key figures, etc.) used in SAP BW.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU01 to check the user profile.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for accessing the InfoObject catalog.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Authorizations:
  
  The user needs to have the appropriate authorizations in the authorization object S_INFO (for InfoObjects) and S_TCODE (for transaction codes).
  Ensure that the user has the following authorizations:
  
  S_INFO with activity 03 (Display) for the relevant InfoObjects.
  Access to the transaction codes related to InfoObject catalog (like RSA1 for the Data Warehousing Workbench).
  
  
  
  
  
  Use Authorization Trace:
  
  If you are unsure which specific authorization is missing, you can use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify what is missing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you adjust the roles or create a new role with the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
