• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDHA507 - Insufficient authorization to read data from '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSDHA507 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to read data from a specific InfoProvider (denoted by '&1'). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to access data from an InfoProvider, such as an InfoCube, DataStore Object (DSO), or MultiProvider, but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the specified InfoProvider.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific InfoProvider.
  Data Access Restrictions: There may be restrictions on data access based on characteristics or hierarchies that the user is not authorized to view.
  Transport Issues: If the authorization roles were recently transported from another system, they may not have been properly assigned or activated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, assign the appropriate roles that include access to the InfoProvider in question.
  Ensure that the roles are properly configured to include the necessary authorization objects (e.g., S_RS_COMP, S_RS_AUTH).
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot access the data, check the authorization objects associated with the roles. You may need to add or modify the authorizations for the specific InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Check Data Access Restrictions:
  
  Review any data access restrictions that may be in place for the InfoProvider. This includes checking for any authorization-related settings in the InfoProvider itself.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Test the access to the InfoProvider again.
