• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD041 - You are not authorized to maintain InfoCube &1 aggregate ?

  The SAP error message RSDD041 indicates that a user is not authorized to maintain a specific InfoCube aggregate. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to perform actions related to aggregates in an InfoCube but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for the specific InfoCube or its aggregates. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned in their role.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to maintain aggregates.
  InfoCube-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on the InfoCube that prevent certain users from making changes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSDD041 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 is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorization objects for maintaining aggregates, such as S_RS_AUTH (for reporting authorization) and S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles to include the required permissions.
  Ensure that the role has the appropriate authorizations for the specific InfoCube and its aggregates.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
