• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRA1004 - No authorization for creating a setting ?

  The SAP error message RSRA1004, which states "No authorization for creating a setting," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP BI (Business Intelligence) when a user attempts to create or modify settings for a query or report but lacks the necessary authorizations.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user does not have the required authorization objects assigned to their user profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user lacks specific authorization objects related to the BW/BI settings.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations.
  Profile Issues: The user profile may not be correctly configured to allow for the creation of settings.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRA1004 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has roles that include the necessary authorizations for creating settings in BW/BI.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them or request that a security administrator do so.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for BW/BI settings typically include:
  
  S_RS_BI: Authorizations for BI content.
  S_RS_AUTH: Authorizations for reporting.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations within these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the changes take effect. Then, attempt to create the setting again.
