• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDG008 - You are not authorized to edit InfoCube &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDDG008, which states "You are not authorized to edit InfoCube &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify an InfoCube in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) without having the necessary authorizations. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to edit the specified InfoCube. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the user's profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that grant access to the InfoCube.
  Object-Specific Authorizations: The user might have general access but lacks specific authorizations for the InfoCube in question.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, a system administrator or security officer should assign the appropriate roles that include access to the InfoCube.
  Common roles that might be required include those related to data modeling or InfoProvider maintenance.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot access the InfoCube, check the authorization objects associated with the roles. The relevant authorization objects for InfoCubes typically include:
  
  S_RS_AUTH (Authorizations for BW)
  S_RS_COMP (Authorizations for InfoProviders)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If changes were made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported correctly if working in a multi-system landscape.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or BASIS team for further assistance. They can help identify and rectify authorization issues.
