BEx QD errors "BI system has version; 70000 is required" or "System is not a BI system"

After update of SAP GUI to version 75 there are below error popping up during startup of BEx Query Designer:

"BI system has version; 70000 is required"
or
"System is not a BI system"


This is caused by an architecture change within SAP GUI 75 where BEx tool are now using .Net Connector of version (NCo) 3 whereas in lower versions of the BEx tools the NCo version 2 was used. The SAP standard function modules like RFC_METADATA_GET / RFC_METADATA are used for data exchange between the BEx Query Designer and the SAP BW backend. To run the FMs user needs must have an authorization object S_RFC assigned.  Only this grants the user possibility to run the FMs.

To solve this the roles of the BW developers need to be extended with the mentioned authorization objects.
