• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CDS_VAL001 - Not Authorized ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CDS_VAL001 Not Authorized typically indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorizations to access a specific Core Data Services (CDS) view or to perform a certain action related to it. This error is often encountered in the context of SAP HANA or SAP S/4HANA systems where CDS views are used for data modeling and reporting.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to access the CDS view or the underlying data.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions for the specific CDS view or the associated database tables.
  Object Privileges: The user may lack the necessary object privileges on the database level, which are required to access the data.
  Data Access Control: There may be data access control mechanisms in place that restrict access based on user roles or attributes.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the ESH_CDS_VAL001 Not Authorized error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Verify that the user has the appropriate roles assigned. You can do this by checking the user’s profile in the SAP system.
  Ensure that the roles include access to the relevant CDS views and the underlying data sources.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the authorization objects associated with the CDS views. You may need to adjust the roles to include the necessary authorization objects.
  Common authorization objects for CDS views include S_TCODE, S_TABU_DIS, and others depending on the specific data access requirements.
  
  
  
  Grant Object Privileges:
  
  If the issue is related to database object privileges, ensure that the user has the necessary privileges on the database objects (tables, views) that the CDS view accesses.
  This can be done using SQL commands or through the SAP HANA Studio.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team. They can help analyze the authorization logs and determine what specific authorizations are missing.
  
  
  
  Testing:
