How to fix this error?

If you want to use automic validation of privileges (user &v1&), the
user of the Enterprise Search connection needs SELECT privilege for each
of the following tables (HANA):
SYS.USERS (status:'&v2&')
SYS.GRANTED_ROLES (status:'&v3&')
SYS.GRANTED_PRIVILEGES (status:'&v4&')
Status = 'X' means, the user &v1& currently doesn't have SELECT
privilege.

Procedure for System Administrators

To maintain privileges, go to the HANA Studio. Make sure to be logged on
with a system user, as only a few users have sufficient authorizations
to maintain HANA privileges.
