  The SAP error message RSDME179, which states "You are not authorized to display analytical objects," typically occurs when a user attempts to access analytical objects (like queries, reports, or dashboards) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP Analytics Cloud without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user. This can happen due to:
