• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC646 - No direct assignment of authorization &1 to user &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSEC646 indicates that there is an issue with the assignment of authorizations to a user in the context of SAP's authorization management, particularly in the area of Business Intelligence (BI) or Business Warehouse (BW). The message states that there is "No direct assignment of authorization &1 to user &2," which means that the system is unable to find a direct assignment of a specific authorization object to the specified user.
  Cause:
  
  Direct Assignment Issue: The user does not have a direct assignment for the specified authorization object. In SAP, authorizations can be assigned directly to users or through roles. If the authorization is not assigned directly, the system will throw this error.
  Role Configuration: The role that is supposed to contain the authorization might not be correctly configured or might not be assigned to the user.
  Missing Authorizations: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the data or transaction they are trying to execute.
  Authorization Object Not Defined: The authorization object in question may not be defined in the system or may not be included in the user's roles.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Authorizations: Verify the user's authorizations by checking the roles assigned to the user. You can do this using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Assign Roles: If the necessary roles are not assigned, you need to assign the appropriate roles that contain the required authorizations to the user.
  Modify Role: If the role does not contain the required authorization object, you may need to modify the role using transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorizations.
  Direct Assignment: If direct assignment is required, you can assign the authorization object directly to the user in transaction SU01 under the "Authorizations" tab.
  Check Authorization Profiles: Ensure that the authorization profiles associated with the roles are correctly configured and include the necessary authorizations.
