  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_ADMIN041 indicates an "Ownership violation" when attempting to perform a modification operation on a table in the SAP HANA database. This error typically arises when the user or process trying to modify the table does not have the necessary ownership or privileges to perform the operation.
  Cause:
  
  Ownership Issues: The user attempting to modify the table does not own the table or does not have the required privileges granted to them.
  Role and Privilege Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the necessary permissions to modify the table.

  Use a Different User: If possible, perform the operation using the user that owns the table or has the required privileges.
  Check Role Assignments: Ensure that the user has the correct roles assigned that include the necessary permissions for the operation.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP HANA documentation for detailed information on user roles and privileges.
