• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM878 - You do not have authorization for DSO object &2 ?

  The SAP error message RSM878 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access a DataStore Object (DSO) specified by the object name (represented by &2). This error typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to perform operations on a DSO without the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of authorization for the user role that is trying to access the DSO. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user’s role does not include the necessary authorization objects for accessing the DSO.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct role that includes access to the DSO.
  Data Access Restrictions: The DSO may have specific data access restrictions that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM878 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that they include the necessary authorizations for the DSO.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check failure. This will provide insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  Common authorization objects for DSOs include S_BI_WAA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_OIJ (for InfoProvider authorizations).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the necessary authorizations are missing, you may need to modify the user’s roles using transaction code PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Add the required authorization objects to the role and generate the profile.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the access to the DSO again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles or if you are unsure about the required authorizations, consult your SAP security team for assistance.
