• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION037 - No authorization to update audit active flag for InfoProvider &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSBPCA_EXCEPTION037 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to update the audit active flag for a specific InfoProvider in the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) system. This typically occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of appropriate authorizations in the user's role or profile. The audit active flag is a setting that determines whether auditing is enabled for a particular InfoProvider, and changing this setting requires specific permissions.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. You can do this by using transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user and check if the necessary authorizations are included.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required permissions. The specific authorization object that is typically relevant for this action is S_RS_AUTH (Authorizations for Reporting).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to modify the InfoProvider settings, including the ability to change the audit active flag.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, you may need to consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the authorizations, have the user attempt the action again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or updates related to this error message.
