• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN124 - User of connection &1 needs SELECT privileges for schema &2 ?

  The SAP error message ESH_HANA_FL_ADMIN124 indicates that a user associated with a specific connection does not have the necessary SELECT privileges for a particular schema in the HANA database. This error typically arises in scenarios where the user is trying to access data or perform operations that require read access to certain database objects.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user account being used to connect to the HANA database does not have the required permissions to execute SELECT statements on the specified schema. This can happen due to:
  
  Insufficient Privileges: The user has not been granted the necessary SELECT privileges on the schema.
  Role Assignment Issues: The roles assigned to the user do not include the required permissions.
  Schema Ownership: The schema may be owned by a different user, and the current user does not have access to it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate SELECT privileges for the specified schema. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Log in to HANA Studio or HANA Database: Use an account that has administrative privileges to manage user roles and permissions.
  
  
  Grant SELECT Privileges:
  
  You can grant SELECT privileges to the user for the specific schema using the following SQL command:
  GRANT SELECT ON SCHEMA <schema_name> TO <user_name>;
  
  Replace <schema_name> with the name of the schema and <user_name> with the name of the user who is encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Check User Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has been assigned the correct roles that include the necessary privileges. You can check the roles assigned to the user with:
  SELECT * FROM _SYS_AUTH.GRANTED_PRIVILEGES WHERE GRANTEE = '<user_name>';
  
  
  
  
  Review Role Definitions:
  
  If the user is part of a role that should have the necessary privileges, verify that the role includes the SELECT privilege for the schema.
  
  
  
  Test the Connection: After making the changes, test the connection again to see if the error persists.
