• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSM1542 - No authorization to execute repartition ?

  The SAP error message RSM1542, which states "No authorization to execute repartition," typically occurs when a user attempts to perform a repartition operation in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to do so. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments where data is being managed and partitioned.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. The user may not have the necessary permissions to execute the repartitioning of data, which is a sensitive operation that can affect data integrity and performance.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSM1542 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization check failure. This will provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Go to transaction code PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for data management and repartitioning.
  
  
  
  Add Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to add them. Common authorization objects related to data management include:
  
  S_RS_AUTH (Authorization for Reporting)
  S_BI_WA (Authorization for BW Administration)
  S_BI_CONT (Authorization for BW Content)
  
  
  Consult with your SAP security team to ensure that the user is granted the appropriate permissions.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After updating the user roles and authorizations, have the user attempt the repartition operation again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Training:
  
  Ensure that users are aware of the permissions required for specific operations. Providing documentation or training can help prevent similar issues in the future.
