• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R7B028 - You are not authorized to display all InfoProviders ?

  The SAP error message R7B028, which states "You are not authorized to display all InfoProviders," typically occurs when a user attempts to access InfoProviders in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorization settings for the user. In SAP BW, InfoProviders are objects that store data, and access to these objects is controlled by authorization roles. If a user does not have the appropriate roles or authorizations assigned, they will encounter this error when trying to view or interact with InfoProviders.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check and help identify which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG (Profile Generator) to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the required InfoProviders. This may involve checking roles related to reporting, data access, or specific InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you may need to either modify existing roles or create new ones to include the necessary authorizations for InfoProvider access.
  Common authorizations to check include:
  
  S_RS_COMP (Authorization for InfoProvider)
  S_BI_WA (Authorization for BI Workbench)
  S_BI_CONT (Authorization for BI Content)
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems (e.g., from development to production) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Concept in SAP BW: Understanding how authorizations work in SAP BW is crucial. Authorizations are typically managed through roles, and each role can contain multiple authorization objects.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization objects and how to manage them.
