• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW118 - No user groups / roles found ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW118: No user groups / roles found typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to access a query or report but the system cannot find any user groups or roles associated with that user. This can prevent the user from executing queries or accessing data.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to access the BW queries or reports.
  User Group Configuration: The user may not be assigned to any user groups that have access to the specific BW queries.
  Role Assignment: The roles assigned to the user do not include the necessary permissions for the BW objects.
  User Master Data Issues: There may be issues with the user master data in the SAP system, such as missing or incorrect entries.
  Transport Issues: If the roles or authorizations were recently transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and check the user’s roles and authorizations.
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include access to the BW queries.
  
  
  
  Assign User Groups:
  
  In transaction SU01, check if the user is assigned to the appropriate user groups.
  If not, assign the user to the relevant user groups that have access to the BW queries.
  
  
  
  Review Role Configuration:
  
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to review the roles assigned to the user.
  Ensure that the roles contain the necessary authorizations for the BW queries.
  
  
  
  Check User Master Data:
  
  Verify that the user master data is correctly configured and that there are no inconsistencies.
  Ensure that the user is active and not locked.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the roles were recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors.
  Ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
  
  Use transaction ST01 (System Trace) or SU53 (Authorization Check) to trace authorization checks and identify what is missing.
  
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team:
  
  If the issue persists, consult with your SAP Basis team to check for any system-wide issues or configurations that may be affecting user access.
