  The SAP error message ESH_QM_OPT010 indicates that a user is not authorized to run an optimization in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Enterprise Search or SAP HANA, where optimization processes are required for performance tuning or data management.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of appropriate authorizations assigned to the user trying to execute the optimization. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorization Objects: The user may not have the necessary authorization objects assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration: The roles assigned to the user may not include the permissions required to perform optimization tasks.
  System Configuration: There may be system-level restrictions or configurations that prevent certain users from executing optimization processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ESH_QM_OPT010 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization check failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:

  Assign Missing Authorizations:
  
  If you identify missing authorization objects, you can either:
  
  Modify existing roles to include the necessary authorizations.
  Create a new role that includes the required authorizations and assign it to the user.
  
  
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes to roles and authorizations, consult with your SAP security team or administrator. They can help identify and assign the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to run the optimization again.
