• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC249 - No authorization found... ?

  The SAP error message RSEC249 ("No authorization found for the selected data") typically occurs when a user attempts to access data in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) and does not have the necessary authorizations to view that data. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when running reports, accessing queries, or viewing data in InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific data or InfoProvider they are trying to access.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the specific data set.
  Data Access Restrictions: There may be restrictions in place that limit access to certain data based on characteristics or hierarchies.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (like S_BI_WPRO, S_BI_CONT, etc.) may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Role Adjustment:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include the required authorizations.
  If the roles are already assigned, check if the roles are up to date and include the necessary authorizations for the specific InfoProvider or query.
  
  
  
  Authorization Object Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are correctly configured. This may involve checking the settings in transaction PFCG for the roles assigned to the user.
  Make sure that the authorization values for the relevant fields are set correctly.
  
  
  
  Data Access Control:
  
  If there are data access restrictions based on characteristics, ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the specific data slices.
  Review any data access policies that may be in place.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the access again to ensure that the user can now access the required data without encountering the error.

  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP security team or a basis administrator for further investigation.
