• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM901 - You have no authorization for DataSource &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSM901, which states "You have no authorization for DataSource &1," typically occurs when a user attempts to access a DataSource in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) for which they do not have the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to load data, execute queries, or access specific reports.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile for the specific DataSource.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the DataSource.
  DataSource Configuration: The DataSource may be configured in a way that restricts access based on certain criteria.
  User Group Restrictions: The DataSource may be restricted to certain user groups, and the user does not belong to any of those groups.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check failure. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the authorization objects related to the DataSource, such as S_BW_AUTH for BW authorizations.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the DataSource.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorizations for the specific DataSource.
  
  
  
  Modify Role Authorizations:
  
  If the user has the role but still encounters the error, check if the role needs to be modified to include the required authorizations for the DataSource.
  Use transaction PFCG to modify roles and add the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Check DataSource Settings:
  
  Review the DataSource settings in the Data Warehousing Workbench (transaction RSA1) to ensure that there are no restrictions based on user groups or other criteria.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team for further assistance. They can help analyze the authorization issues and make necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
