This error typically occurs when a user attempts to upload data from a file into the SAP system but lacks the required permissions.

  To resolve the RSAR_FILE006 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  S_BI_OA (for operational authorizations)
  S_DATASET (for file access)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:

  After making changes, ensure to perform a user comparison in transaction PFCG to update the user’s authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, have the user attempt the upload again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
