• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO071 - You are not authorized to change DataStore object '&1' ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_ADSO071 indicates that a user is attempting to change a DataStore Object (DSO) but does not have the necessary authorization to perform that action. This is a common issue in SAP environments where user roles and authorizations are strictly managed.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations to modify the specified DataStore Object. This could be due to missing roles or permissions in the user's profile.
  Object Locking: The DSO might be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  Incorrect User Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct role that includes the necessary permissions for the DSO.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to assign the appropriate roles that include permissions for the DSO. This typically involves:
  
  Access to the Data Warehousing Workbench.
  Permissions for the specific DSO (e.g., S_RS_AUTH for reporting authorizations).
  Permissions for data manipulation (e.g., S_DATASET for data access).
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Object Locking:
  
  Ensure that the DSO is not locked by another user or process. You can check for locks using transaction SM12.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or if you are unsure about the necessary permissions, consult with your SAP security team or administrator.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or permissions, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
