• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBBS103 - No authorization to execute report &2 in source system &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBBS103 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific report in a source system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) when trying to access data from a source system, such as an SAP ERP system.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations for the user attempting to execute the report. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  Source System Configuration: There may be issues with the configuration of the source system that restrict access to certain reports or data.
  Transport Issues: If roles or authorizations were recently transported from one system to another, they may not have been properly assigned or activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSBBS103 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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to view the user’s profile and roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects that are required for executing the report. Common authorization objects for BW reports include S_BW_BCT (for BW content) and S_BW_AUTH (for BW authorizations).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the user is missing roles, assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations. This can be done using transaction code PFCG.
  Make sure that the roles are properly configured and include the necessary authorizations for the reports in question.
  
  
  
  Check Source System Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the source system is correctly configured in the BW system. This includes checking the RFC connections and ensuring that the source system is accessible.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If roles or authorizations were recently transported, verify that they were correctly imported and activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
