  The SAP error message RSO_CTC093 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to perform a BW (Business Warehouse) system refresh. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a transaction or process that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorizations assigned to the user in the SAP BW system. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for performing a system refresh.
  Authorization Objects: The user may lack specific authorization objects that are required for the refresh operation.
  Profile Issues: The user’s profile may not be correctly configured to allow for the required actions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSO_CTC093 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance).

  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for BW system refresh operations.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Identify the specific authorization objects required for the BW system refresh. Common objects may include S_BW_BCT (for BW content) and others related to data loading and administration.
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:

  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt the BW system refresh again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Documentation and Compliance:
