• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD014 - No write authorization for folder "&1" ?

  The SAP error message RSRD014, which states "No write authorization for folder '&1'", typically occurs in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP BusinessObjects when a user attempts to perform an action (like saving or modifying a report) in a folder for which they do not have the necessary write permissions.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorization for the user to write to the specified folder. This can happen due to:
  
  User Role Configuration: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles or authorizations that allow write access to the folder.
  Folder Permissions: The folder itself may have been configured with restrictive permissions that prevent certain users or roles from writing to it.
  Inheritance Issues: If the folder permissions are inherited from a parent folder, the user may not have the necessary permissions at the parent level.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRD014 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary roles assigned that include write permissions for the folder in question. This can be done through transaction codes like PFCG (Profile Generator) in SAP.
  
  
  
  Review Folder Permissions:
  
  Navigate to the folder in question and check its permissions. Ensure that the user or the user's role has been granted write access. This can typically be done in the BW or BusinessObjects administration interface.
  
  
  
  Modify Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary permissions, you may need to modify the authorization settings. This can involve:
  
  Adding the user to a role that has write access.
  Directly granting write permissions to the user for that specific folder.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check Inheritance:
  
  If the folder permissions are inherited, check the parent folder's permissions to ensure that they allow write access for the user or the user's role.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or permissions, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to address the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: PFCG (for role management), SU01 (for user management), and RSUSR003 (to check user authorizations).
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for detailed information on authorization concepts and folder management in BW or BusinessObjects.
  Support: If the issue persists after checking permissions, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSRD014 error and gain the necessary write access to the specified folder.
