• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBBS007 - No authorization for changing query &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBBS007 ("No authorization for changing query &1") typically occurs when a user attempts to modify a query in SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Business Explorer (BEx) and does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is related to the authorization objects that control access to queries and reports in SAP BW.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations for the user role that is trying to change the query. Specifically, the user may not have the required permissions for the following:
  
  Authorization Object S_BW_QUERY: This object controls access to queries in BW. If the user lacks the necessary authorizations for this object, they will not be able to change the query.
  Query-specific authorizations: Each query can have specific authorizations that need to be assigned to the user or their role.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBBS007 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for modifying queries.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the role includes the authorization object S_BW_QUERY with the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for change).
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality, Production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if they can now change the query without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects in SAP BW, such as S_BW_QUERY, S_BW_AUTH, and others that may be relevant to your specific BW setup.
  SAP Notes: Check for any SAP Notes related to authorization issues in BW or specific to the error message RSBBS007 for additional guidance or known issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on user authorizations and roles to ensure best practices are followed when assigning permissions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSBBS007 error and allow the user to change the query as needed.
