• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBOLAP002 - No Authorization ?

  The SAP error message RSBOLAP002, which states "No Authorization," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a report or data in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and does not have the necessary authorizations to do so. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when accessing InfoProviders, queries, or other BW objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific InfoProvider or query.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the BW objects they are trying to access.
  Data Access Restrictions: There may be restrictions on data access based on characteristics or hierarchies that the user is not authorized to view.
  Transport Issues: If the authorization roles were recently transported from another system, they may not have been properly assigned or activated in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing. This transaction shows the last authorization check and can help identify the specific missing authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the BW objects in question.
  If roles need to be modified, you can add the required authorizations and then generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If specific authorizations are missing, you may need to add them to the user’s role or create a new role that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check Data Access:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct authorizations for any data access restrictions that may be in place, such as authorization objects related to specific characteristics or hierarchies.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to BW include S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_CONT (for content access).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU01: User maintenance to check user details.
  SU53: Display authorization check results.
  PFCG: Role maintenance to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization concepts in SAP BW.
