• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH163 - AMDP check error during assignment of SQL privilege SELECT on &1 to &2 ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH163 typically occurs during the assignment of SQL privileges in the context of ABAP Managed Database Procedures (AMDP) when there is an issue with the authorization checks for the SQL privileges required for accessing HANA database objects.
  Cause:
  The error message indicates that there is a problem with the assignment of the SQL privilege SELECT on a specific database object (denoted as &1) to a user or role (denoted as &2). This can happen due to several reasons:
  
  Missing Privileges: The user or role does not have the necessary privileges to perform the SELECT operation on the specified database object.
  Incorrect Role Assignment: The role that is supposed to grant the necessary privileges may not be correctly assigned to the user.
  Database Object Not Found: The specified database object may not exist or may not be accessible in the current context.
  Authorization Issues: There may be underlying authorization issues that prevent the assignment of the privilege.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH163 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Privileges:
  
  Verify that the user or role has the necessary privileges to access the database object. You can do this by checking the roles assigned to the user in the SAP system and ensuring that they include the required SQL privileges.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Privileges:
  
  If the necessary privileges are missing, you can assign them using the HANA Studio or SQL commands. For example, you can grant the SELECT privilege on the specific object to the user or role:
  GRANT SELECT ON <schema>.<object> TO <user_or_role>;
  
  
  
  
  Check Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the role that contains the required privileges is correctly assigned to the user. You can do this in the SAP GUI under user administration (transaction code SU01).
  
  
  
  Validate Database Object:
  
  Confirm that the database object (table, view, etc.) exists and is accessible. You can check this in the HANA Studio or by executing a simple query to see if the object can be accessed.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Checks:
  
  If the issue persists, review the authorization checks in the system to ensure that there are no additional restrictions preventing the assignment of the privilege.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to AMDP and HANA authorization for any specific guidance or updates that may be relevant to your version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
