• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM832 - You do not have authorization for InfoSource &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSM832 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a specific InfoSource in the SAP system. This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to execute a query or access data that requires specific authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role or profile associated with the InfoSource. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes access to the InfoSource.
  InfoSource Configuration: The InfoSource may be configured in such a way that it restricts access based on certain criteria.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM832 error, 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.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code SU01 to check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned the appropriate roles that include access to the InfoSource. You can check this in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator).
  If the user is missing the necessary role, you may need to assign it to them.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorization Objects:
  
  If the user has the correct role but still encounters the error, you may need to modify the authorization objects associated with that role. This can be done in transaction PFCG by editing the role and adding the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and resolve authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, test the access to the InfoSource again.
