• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM855 - You only have authorization to display MultiProvider &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSM855 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions other than displaying a MultiProvider in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This typically occurs when a user attempts to execute a query or perform an operation that requires more permissions than they currently possess.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for the specific MultiProvider or the underlying InfoProviders. The user may only have display rights, which restricts them from executing queries or making changes.
  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 Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for the MultiProvider.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create new ones. Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust the authorizations.
  Ensure that the roles include access to the relevant MultiProvider and any underlying InfoProviders.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  Pay attention to the relevant authorization objects, such as S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_CONT (for content access). Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Transport Changes:
  
  If changes are made to roles or authorizations, ensure that they are transported to the appropriate environments (e.g., from development to production) if applicable.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved. They should now be able to execute the queries or perform the actions they were previously restricted from.
