• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM839 - You only have authorization to display the aggregates for InfoCube &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSM839 indicates that a user is attempting to perform an action on an InfoCube for which they do not have the necessary authorization. Specifically, the message states that the user only has authorization to display the aggregates for the specified InfoCube.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is related to authorization settings in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). The user lacks the required authorizations to perform actions beyond displaying aggregates for the specified InfoCube. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user role does not include the necessary authorization objects for the InfoCube.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not be configured correctly to allow for the required actions (e.g., data loading, data extraction).
  User Profile Issues: The user profile may not have been updated to reflect the necessary permissions after changes were made to the InfoCube or its associated roles.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for the InfoCube in question.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the required authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the roles:
  
  Add the necessary authorization objects (e.g., S_RS_COMP, S_RS_AUTH, etc.) that pertain to the InfoCube.
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate access to perform the required actions (e.g., loading data, executing queries).
  
  
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the relevant environments (e.g., from development to production).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
