• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM887 - You are not authorized for InfoObject &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSM887, which states "You are not authorized for InfoObject &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access or perform an operation on an InfoObject (such as a characteristic or key figure) in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned in their user profile for the specific InfoObject.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary authorizations for the InfoObject in question.
  InfoObject Status: The InfoObject may be in a status that restricts access, such as being in a development or inactive state.
  Authorization Objects: The relevant authorization objects (like S_TABU_DIS for table access or S_BI_WA for BW authorizations) may not be properly configured.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see what authorizations are missing.
  Review the user’s roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure that the necessary authorizations for the InfoObject are included.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles assigned to the user. This can be done in transaction PFCG:
  
  Open the role assigned to the user.
  Go to the "Authorizations" tab and adjust the authorizations for the relevant InfoObject.
  Generate the profile after making changes.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the required access.
  
  
  
  Check InfoObject Status:
  
  Ensure that the InfoObject is active and not restricted in any way. You can check this in the InfoObject maintenance transaction (e.g., RSA1 for Data Warehousing Workbench).
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
