• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAN_PR059 - Insufficient authorization for enhanced maintenance (S_DEVELOP missing) ?

  The SAP error message RSAN_PR059 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to perform enhanced maintenance tasks in the SAP system. Specifically, it points out that the authorization object S_DEVELOP is missing, which is required for certain development activities.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to access or perform actions related to enhanced maintenance in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or other development-related tasks without having the necessary authorizations. The S_DEVELOP authorization object is crucial for allowing users to create or modify development objects.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Check User Roles: 
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Role:
  
  If the user does not have a role that includes the S_DEVELOP authorization, you will need to assign a role that does. This can be done by:
  
  Creating a new role or modifying an existing role in transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the necessary authorizations for S_DEVELOP.
  
  
  
  
  
  Add Authorization Object:
  
  If you are creating or modifying a role, make sure to include the S_DEVELOP authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 01 for create, 02 for change).
  You may need to specify the relevant fields for the authorization object, such as the development class or package.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  After making changes, you can use transaction SU53 to check for authorization failures after the user attempts to perform the action again. This will help you identify if there are still missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If you are working in a development environment, ensure that any changes made to roles or authorizations are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., QA, Production) as needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
