• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRD163 - No authorization to execute &1 (owner &2) ?

  The SAP error message RSRD163 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to execute a specific report or query. The message typically includes the name of the report or query (&1) and the owner of that report or query (&2).
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for executing the specified report or query. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  The user lacks the necessary roles or authorizations in their user profile.

  The ownership of the report or query may have specific access controls that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRD163 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify the user's roles and authorizations in the SAP system. This can be done using transaction code SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance).
  Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include access to the report or query in question.

  Ensure that the user has the required authorizations for the specific report or query.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user does not have the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify existing roles or create new roles that include the required access.
  Assign the updated roles to the user.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
