  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  The user does not have the required authorizations for the specified authorization object (denoted as &1 in the error message).
  The authorization profile assigned to the user does not include the necessary permissions for the actions they are trying to perform.
  The authorization object may be related to specific data access, such as InfoProviders, queries, or other BW objects.

  To resolve the BW_BICS_EQ212 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify the Authorization Object:
