  Cause:
  The error typically arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Insufficient Privileges: The user executing the operation does not have the required database privileges (e.g., SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) for the specified database object.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the correct roles or authorizations in the SAP system that correspond to the required database privileges.
  Database Configuration: There may be restrictions or configurations at the database level that prevent the user from accessing certain objects.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DBOSC184 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Grant Required Privileges:
  
  If you identify missing privileges, you may need to grant the necessary database privileges to the user. This can typically be done by a database administrator (DBA) or someone with the appropriate authority.
  For example, if the user needs SELECT privileges on a specific table, the DBA can execute a command like:
  GRANT SELECT ON table_name TO user_name;
  
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary authorizations for the database operations they need to perform.
