• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSL_UTILITIES085 - Not authorized for default query (incl. attributes), IP &1 (activity &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSL_UTILITIES085 indicates that a user is not authorized to access a specific default query, including its attributes, for a particular InfoProvider (IP). This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to execute a query for which they lack the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to access the specified query or InfoProvider. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include access to the specific query or InfoProvider.
  Query Restrictions: The query itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from executing it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) and check the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the InfoProvider and the query.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or modify existing roles to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_RS_COMP, S_RS_AUTH, S_RS_BI) are included in the user's roles. These objects control access to queries and InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Query Properties:
  
  Check the properties of the query in transaction RSRT (Query Monitor) or RSO2 (Query Designer) to see if there are any specific restrictions or settings that might be affecting access.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the query or InfoProvider was recently transported from another system, ensure that the transport included all necessary authorizations and roles.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help analyze the authorization setup and make necessary adjustments.
