  The SAP error message ESH_ADM_MSG175 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to perform a consistency check in the SAP Enterprise Search (SAP ESH) environment. This error typically arises when a user attempts to execute a function or transaction that requires specific permissions that they do not possess.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user role. The consistency check is a sensitive operation that requires specific authorizations to ensure that only authorized personnel can perform it.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these 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 insights into which specific authorization object is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Check the roles assigned to the user in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance). Ensure that the user has the necessary roles that include the required authorizations for performing consistency checks.

  S_USER_AUTH - for user authorization checks.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to change roles or authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help you identify the required authorizations and make the necessary adjustments.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes to the user roles or authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new permissions take effect. Then, attempt to perform the consistency check again.
