• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM877 - You only have authorization to display DSO object &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSM877 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform actions on a DataStore Object (DSO) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). The message specifically states that the user only has authorization to display the DSO object identified by &2.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user in the SAP system. This can happen if:
  
  The user role does not include the necessary permissions to perform actions other than display (e.g., change, delete, or manage the DSO).
  The authorization object related to the DSO is not properly configured or is missing for the user.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the DSO.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for DataStore Objects in SAP BW are typically S_BI_WAA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_DSO (for DSO-specific authorizations).
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations for these objects, particularly for the actions they are trying to perform (e.g., change, delete).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to adjust the roles and add the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the functionality again to confirm that the error has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
