• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSEC658 - No Change Authorization ?

  The SAP error message RSEC658 "No Change Authorization" typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a data object or authorization object in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) without having the necessary permissions. This error is related to the authorization checks that are in place to ensure that only users with the appropriate rights can modify certain data or settings.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to change the specific object or data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
  Authorization Object: The specific authorization object related to the change may not be included in the user's profile.
  
  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 specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the actions they are trying to perform.
  If the user needs to perform changes, they may require roles that include the S_BI_WA (for BW) or other relevant authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a security administrator or someone with the appropriate permissions should modify the user's roles to include the required authorizations.
  This may involve adding specific authorization objects or adjusting the existing ones.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the action again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
