• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSR_WWW020 - No authorization for the values of hierarchy &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSR_WWW020 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to access certain values in a hierarchy. This typically occurs in the context of reporting or analysis when a user attempts to view or interact with data that is restricted based on their authorization profile.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user lacks the required authorizations for the specific hierarchy node or value they are trying to access.
  Hierarchy Restrictions: The hierarchy may have been set up with specific restrictions that limit access to certain users or roles.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the correct roles that grant access to the required data.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error to analyze the authorization check. This will show what authorizations are missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 or PFCG to ensure they have the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user is missing the required authorizations, you may need to modify their roles in transaction PFCG to include the necessary authorizations for the hierarchy values.
  Ensure that the authorization objects related to the hierarchy (e.g., S_RS_COMP, S_RS_AUTH, etc.) are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Hierarchy Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the hierarchy in the relevant InfoObject or InfoProvider to ensure that it is not overly restrictive.
  If necessary, adjust the hierarchy settings to allow broader access.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or hierarchies, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
