  The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS012 indicates that there is an authorization check failure for a specific object type, which is typically related to the authorization required to access certain resources or perform specific actions within the SAP system. This error is commonly encountered in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when users attempt to access queries, reports, or data sources without the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the lack of appropriate authorizations for the user trying to access a particular object. This could be due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to access the specific object type.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the object type in question.
  Object Type Restrictions: The object type may have specific restrictions that require additional authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the authorization check failure, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Object Type: Check the error message for the specific object type that is causing the authorization failure. This will help you understand what permissions are needed.
  
  
  Check User Roles: 
  
  Go to transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Review the roles assigned to the user and check if they include the necessary authorizations for the object type.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see the authorization check that failed. This will provide details on which specific authorization object is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction code PFCG to review and modify roles and authorization profiles.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify that the user is missing specific authorizations, you can either assign the necessary roles that include those authorizations or modify existing roles to include the required permissions.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to access the object again to verify if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Consult Security Team: If you do not have the necessary permissions to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: In SAP, authorization objects are used to control access to various functions and data. Each object can have multiple fields that define the specific authorizations required.
