• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRDA101 - No authorization to distribute document &1 ?

  The SAP error message RSRDA101, which states "No authorization to distribute document &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) when a user attempts to distribute a document (such as a report or query) but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action.
  Cause:
  The error is primarily caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user for the specific document or the distribution process. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the required authorization objects assigned in their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for document distribution.
  Document-Specific Restrictions: The document itself may have specific restrictions that prevent certain users from distributing it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRDA101 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  Review the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU01 or PFCG.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you may need to modify their roles in transaction PFCG to include the required authorization objects. Common authorization objects related to document distribution include:
  
  S_BW_BC (for BW Business Content)
  S_BW_DSP (for document distribution)
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions for the specific document type they are trying to distribute.
  
  
  
  Document-Specific Settings:
  
  Check the settings of the document itself to ensure that it is not restricted to certain users or roles. This can be done in the document management settings or the properties of the specific document.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, have the user attempt to distribute the document again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
