  The SAP error message RSRT_BICS_BW003 indicates that a user does not have sufficient authorization to execute a query in SAP BW (Business Warehouse). This error typically arises when a user attempts to run a query in the BEx (Business Explorer) Analyzer or another reporting tool, but their user profile lacks the necessary permissions.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorizations assigned to their user profile to execute the specific query.
  Query-Specific Authorizations: The query may have specific authorization objects that the user does not meet.
  Role Assignment: The user may not be assigned to the appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations for the query.
  Data Access Restrictions: The user may have restrictions on the data access level, such as not being able to view certain data based on organizational units or other criteria.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction SU53 immediately after the error occurs to see which authorization checks failed. This transaction provides a detailed view of the authorization checks that were performed and which ones were not passed.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG to review the roles assigned to the user. Ensure that the roles include the necessary authorizations for executing the query.
  If the user is missing roles, assign the appropriate roles that contain the required authorizations.
  
  
  
  Modify Query Authorizations:
  
  If the query has specific authorization objects, ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for those objects. This can be done by modifying the query's authorization settings in the Query Designer.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to user roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify the missing authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in, then attempt to execute the query again to verify that the issue has been resolved.
