• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message R8073 - You do not have authorization to extract from DataSource &1, component &2 ?

  The SAP error message R8073 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to extract data from a specific DataSource. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to perform data extraction or reporting tasks.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user to access the specified DataSource. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include access to the DataSource.
  DataSource Restrictions: The DataSource itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from accessing it.
  Component Restrictions: The component associated with the DataSource may have specific access controls.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the R8073 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check results. This will show which authorization objects are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.

  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorization objects for the DataSource.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the roles but still encounters the error, check the specific authorization objects related to the DataSource. You may need to modify the authorizations to include the required access.
