  The SAP error message RSOH005, which states "No authorization to edit InfoSpokes," typically occurs when a user attempts to modify or edit an InfoSpoke in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. InfoSpokes are used in SAP BW to manage and distribute data to various reporting tools.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is insufficient authorization. In SAP, user permissions are managed through roles and authorizations. If a user does not have the appropriate role or authorization object assigned to them, they will encounter this error when trying to edit InfoSpokes.
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSOH005 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for editing InfoSpokes.
  The relevant authorization objects for InfoSpokes typically include S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_CONT (for content management).
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create a new role that includes the required authorizations.
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to manage roles and add the necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the roles, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Attempt to edit the InfoSpoke again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator for assistance.
