• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSQBW148 - You are not authorized to display data ?

  The SAP error message RSQBW148, which states "You are not authorized to display data," typically occurs when a user attempts to access data in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) but lacks the necessary authorizations. This can happen in various contexts, such as when trying to view reports, queries, or data in InfoProviders.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to access the specific data or InfoProvider.
  Role Issues: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific BW objects.
  Data Access Restrictions: There may be restrictions on data access based on organizational units, company codes, or other criteria that the user does not meet.
  Query Designer Settings: If the query is designed with specific restrictions, it may limit access based on user roles or characteristics.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after receiving the error to check the authorization check that failed. This will provide insight into which specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  
  
  
  Assign Necessary Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required roles, work with your SAP security team to assign the appropriate roles that include access to the relevant InfoProviders or queries.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the roles are present but do not include the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify the roles in PFCG to include the required authorizations for the specific BW objects.
  
  
  
  Check Query Settings:
  
  If the issue is related to a specific query, check the query settings in the Query Designer to ensure that there are no restrictions that would prevent the user from accessing the data.
  
  
  
  Test Access:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to test if the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Authorization Objects: Common authorization objects related to BW data access include S_BI_WA (for BW authorizations) and S_BI_CONT (for content access).
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display authorization check.
  SU01: User maintenance.
  PFCG: Role maintenance.
  
  
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or your organization's SAP security policies for detailed information on managing user authorizations and roles.
  
  If the problem persists after checking and updating authorizations, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis or security team for further investigation.
