• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDME752 - You are not authorized for BW Datasource &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSDME752, which states "You are not authorized for BW Datasource &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a BW (Business Warehouse) datasource for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to load data, execute queries, or access reports that rely on the specified datasource.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile to access the specified BW datasource.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the datasource.
  Object-Specific Authorizations: The authorization objects related to the BW datasource may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  
  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.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign them roles that include access to the BW datasource. This can be done through transaction PFCG by adding the required authorization objects to the user's role.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the roles are correct but the user still cannot access the datasource, check the authorization objects associated with the datasource. Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the relevant objects (e.g., S_BI_WA for BW authorizations).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  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 BW datasource again.
  
  
  
  Related Information:

  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's internal guidelines for managing user roles and authorizations in BW.
