• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBBS008 - No authorization for changing InfoCube &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBBS008 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to change an InfoCube in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This error typically arises when a user attempts to perform actions such as modifying the structure of an InfoCube, changing its settings, or performing administrative tasks that require specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations in the user's role or profile. In SAP BW, certain actions related to InfoCubes require specific authorizations, which are defined in the authorization objects. If the user does not have the required authorizations, the system will prevent them from making changes to the InfoCube.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBBS008 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Roles:
  
  Review the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for InfoCube modifications.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations. The relevant authorization objects for InfoCube changes typically include:
  
  S_RS_COMP: Authorizations for InfoProviders (like InfoCubes).
  S_RS_AUTH: Authorizations for reporting and analysis.
  
  
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary activities (like create, change, delete) for InfoCubes.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes to roles or authorizations are made, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the action that previously resulted in the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the necessary authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects and their fields. You can find more information in the SAP documentation or by using transaction SU21 to explore authorization objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues or provide additional guidance related to authorization errors in BW.
  Training: Consider training or resources on SAP BW security and authorizations to better understand how to manage user access effectively.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSBBS008 error and enable the user to make the necessary changes to the InfoCube.
