• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH140 - SQL error message ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH140 typically relates to authorization issues when accessing SAP HANA data sources or when executing certain operations in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) that involve HANA. This error can occur due to insufficient permissions for the user trying to execute a query or access a specific data model.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to access the HANA database or specific objects within it.
  Missing Roles: The required roles that grant access to the HANA views or tables are not assigned to the user.
  Incorrect User Mapping: The user might not be correctly mapped to the HANA database user, leading to authorization failures.
  HANA Security Settings: Security settings in HANA may restrict access to certain data or views.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the required HANA objects. This can be done through transaction codes like SU53 (to analyze authorization failures) or SU01 (to check user roles).
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the relevant HANA views or tables. This may involve working with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  User Mapping:
  
  Check the user mapping in the SAP BW system to ensure that the BW user is correctly mapped to a HANA user with the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Review HANA Security Settings:
  
  Consult with your HANA database administrator to review the security settings and ensure that the user has the required access rights to the data sources being queried.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the access again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
