• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDD_LM013 - You are not authorized to change CompositeProvider &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDD_LM013, which states "You are not authorized to change CompositeProvider &1," typically indicates that the user attempting to modify a CompositeProvider does not have the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is common in SAP BW/4HANA or SAP BW systems where CompositeProviders are used for data modeling.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user lacks the required authorization objects to change the CompositeProvider. This could be due to missing roles or permissions assigned to the user profile.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: The CompositeProvider may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from making changes, even if they have general authorization.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: If the CompositeProvider is part of a transport layer, there may be restrictions on who can modify objects in that layer.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions to modify CompositeProviders.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorization objects for CompositeProvider modification (e.g., S_RS_COMP for CompositeProviders).
  
  
  
  Review CompositeProvider Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific settings or restrictions on the CompositeProvider that might prevent changes. This can include checking the transport settings or any specific authorizations tied to the CompositeProvider itself.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to CompositeProviders and authorization issues for additional guidance.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to modify the CompositeProvider again.
