  The SAP error message RSDD_ZA038, which states "You are not authorized to display cache objects," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to access or display cache objects without the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations for the user role trying to access the cache objects. In SAP BW, cache objects are used to store data temporarily for performance optimization, and access to these objects is controlled by authorization objects.
  Solution:

  Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to see if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Security Team: If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
