• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSPLS563 - You are not authorized to change data slices for &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSPLS563 indicates that a user is not authorized to change data slices for a specific InfoProvider or data slice. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to modify data slices in a query or data model but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to change data slices for the specified InfoProvider.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for data slice management.
  Data Slice Locking: The data slice may be locked by another user or process, preventing changes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to see which authorization checks failed.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction PFCG to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles to include the necessary permissions for data slice management. This typically involves adding the following authorization objects:
  
  S_RS_COMP (for authorization to access the InfoProvider)
  S_RS_AUTH (for authorization to change data slices)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate access to the specific InfoProvider.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to change roles or permissions, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Verify if the data slice is locked by another user or process. You can check this in the relevant transaction or by using transaction SM12 to see if there are any locks on the data slice.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to change the data slice again.
