• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH159 - Assigning SQL privilege EXECUTE on procedure &1 to user &2... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH159 typically indicates that there is an issue with user authorization related to executing a specific SQL procedure in the SAP HANA database. This error occurs when a user does not have the necessary privileges to execute a particular stored procedure.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the lack of the EXECUTE privilege on the specified procedure for the user mentioned in the error message. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The user has not been granted the necessary privileges.
  The procedure is owned by a different schema, and the user does not have access to that schema.
  Changes in user roles or privileges that have not been updated or propagated correctly.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to grant the necessary privileges to the user. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Identify the Procedure and User: Note the procedure name (&1) and the user name (&2) from the error message.
  
  
  Log in to SAP HANA: Use a user account that has sufficient privileges to grant permissions (usually a user with administrative rights).
  
  
  Grant EXECUTE Privilege: Execute the following SQL command to grant the EXECUTE privilege on the procedure to the user:
  GRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE <schema_name>.<procedure_name> TO <user_name>;
  Replace <schema_name>, <procedure_name>, and <user_name> with the actual schema, procedure, and user names.
  
  
  Verify Privileges: After granting the privilege, you can verify that the user has the necessary permissions by querying the system views or using the following SQL command:
  SELECT * FROM "SYS"."GRANTED_PRIVILEGES" WHERE "GRANTEE" = '<user_name>';
  
  
  Test the Execution: Have the user attempt to execute the procedure again to confirm that the issue has been resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  User Roles and Privileges: In SAP HANA, user roles and privileges are crucial for managing access to database objects. Ensure that users are assigned appropriate roles that include the necessary privileges.
  Schema Ownership: Be aware of the schema ownership of the procedures. If a procedure is owned by a different schema, users may need additional privileges to access it.
  Audit and Compliance: Regularly audit user privileges to ensure compliance with security policies and to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive procedures.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider checking for any additional security policies or configurations that may be affecting user access.
