• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG238 - Not authorized to create Query View &1 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG238 Not authorized to create Query View &1 indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorization to create a query view in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Business Warehouse (BW) or SAP Query.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user. Specifically, the user may not have the necessary roles or permissions to create or modify query views in the system.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after encountering the error. This will show you the last authorization check that failed and provide insight into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Roles and Profiles:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include permissions for creating query views.
  If the user does not have the required roles, you may need to assign them appropriate roles that include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Authorization Objects:
  
  The relevant authorization objects for creating query views may include:
  
  S_QUERY: This object controls access to SAP Query functionalities.
  S_BW_QUERY: This object is specific to BW queries and may be relevant if you are working in a BW environment.
  
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations for these objects.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify user roles or authorizations, contact your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the missing authorizations and assign them appropriately.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user’s authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, try to create the query view again.

  SAP Notes:
