• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS083 - No authorization for reading hierarchy node information: &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSO_RES_QMSGS083 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to read hierarchy node information for a specific object in the SAP system. This typically occurs in the context of reporting or data extraction, particularly when dealing with hierarchies in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or similar systems.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by a lack of authorization for the user to access the hierarchy node specified by &1. This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization Object: The user may not have the required authorization object assigned to their user profile.
  Hierarchy Node Restrictions: The specific hierarchy node may have restrictions that prevent the user from accessing it.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Alternatively, you can use transaction SU01 to view the user's profile and check the assigned roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorization objects related to hierarchy access. Common authorization objects for BW include S_RS_BI, S_BI_WA, and others depending on the specific context.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations for accessing the hierarchy nodes.
  Use transaction PFCG to manage roles and authorizations.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Node Access:
  
  Check if the hierarchy node itself has specific access restrictions. You may need to adjust the settings for the hierarchy node to allow the user access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to ensure the user is granted the necessary access.
