• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSINSP036 - You do not have authorization for source object &1 (type &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSINSP036 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific source object in the system. This error typically occurs in the context of data extraction or reporting, particularly when working with SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence).
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the specified source object. The source object could be a DataSource, InfoObject, or any other object type that the user is trying to access. The message provides two placeholders:
  
  &1: Represents the name of the source object.
  &2: Represents the type of the source object (e.g., DataSource, InfoObject).
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations. Here are the steps to troubleshoot and fix the issue:
  
  
  Identify the User: Determine which user is encountering the error.
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs. This transaction will show you the last authorization check that failed, which can help identify the missing authorization object.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to check the user's roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction PFCG. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the source object in question.
  If the user is missing the required authorization, you may need to modify the role or create a new one that includes the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The specific authorization objects that may be relevant include S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations) or other relevant objects depending on the type of source object.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for the specific object type indicated in the error message.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes: If changes to roles or authorizations are made, ensure that they are transported to the relevant systems if you are working in a landscape with multiple environments (e.g., Development, Quality, Production).
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, have the user log in again and attempt to access the source object to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific guidance or known issues related to the error message RSINSP036.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on authorization management and best practices for setting up user roles and authorizations in BW/BI environments.
  Security Audit: If authorization issues are frequent, consider conducting a security audit to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels based on their job functions.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSINSP036 error and ensure that users have the necessary access to the required source objects.
