• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSAU131 - You are not authorized to read InfoProvider & ?

  The SAP error message RSAU131, which states "You are not authorized to read InfoProvider &," typically occurs when a user attempts to access an InfoProvider (such as a DataStore Object, InfoCube, or other data sources) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for accessing the specified InfoProvider. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user do not include access to the specific InfoProvider.
  InfoProvider Restrictions: The InfoProvider may have specific restrictions or settings that limit access to certain users or roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSAU131 error, 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 authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to the InfoProvider you are trying to access.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Use transaction code PFCG to check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the InfoProvider.
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the role or create a new role that includes the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorizations, you can either add them to an existing role or create a new role with the required authorizations.
  Common authorization objects for InfoProviders include:
  
  S_RS_COMP: Authorizations for InfoProviders.
  S_RS_AUTH: Authorizations for reporting and analysis.
  
  
  
  
  
  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.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
