Symptom
When attempting to create a role in Security > Roles, the error message displays: "You are not authorized to Read System Information".
Environment
- SAP Datasphere
- Datasphere Security Roles
Reproducing the Issue
- Open the Security tool and navigate to the Roles area.
- Create a new role and attempt to save it.
- Observe the error: "You are not authorized to Read System Information".
- Open the System tab and note that the About section is not visible.
Cause
- The account lacked required privileges to manage roles
Resolution
- Ensure the account is assigned a global role that grants the full set of privileges required for managing roles:
- Data Warehouse General (-R------)
- Role (CRUD----)
- User (-------M)
- Spaces (-------M)
- After updating authorizations, retry creating and saving a role in Security > Roles.
- If using scoped roles, ensure the necessary spaces are added to the scoped role.
