• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME180 - You are not authorized to change analytical objects ?

  The SAP error message RSDME180, which states "You are not authorized to change analytical objects," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or change analytical objects (like InfoObjects, InfoProviders, or queries) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA without having the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to perform the action on the analytical objects. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for changing analytical objects.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: There may be specific restrictions on certain objects that prevent changes, even if the user has general permissions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for changing analytical objects.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  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.
  Common authorization objects related to analytical objects include:
  
  S_RS_AUTH (Authorization for Reporting)
  S_TCODE (Transaction Code Authorization)
  S_BI_WB (BI Workbench Authorization)
  
  
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After changes are made, log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, try to perform the action again.
