• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH164 - Processing SQL privilege SELECT on view/OLAP... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH164 typically indicates that there is an authorization issue related to SQL privileges when trying to access a view or OLAP object in SAP HANA. This error usually arises when a user does not have the necessary permissions to execute a SELECT statement on a specific view or object.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Privileges: The user attempting to access the view does not have the required SELECT privilege on that view or the underlying tables.
  Role Assignment: The user may not have been assigned the appropriate roles that grant the necessary permissions.
  Object Ownership: The view or object may be owned by a different user, and the current user does not have access rights to it.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH164 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Privileges:
  
  Log in to the SAP HANA database using a user with sufficient privileges (like a system administrator).
  Execute the following SQL command to check the privileges of the user:
  SELECT * FROM "SYS"."GRANTED_PRIVILEGES" WHERE "GRANTEE" = '<username>';
  
  Replace <username> with the actual username that is encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Grant Required Privileges:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary SELECT privilege, you can grant it using the following SQL command:
  GRANT SELECT ON "<schema>"."<view_name>" TO "<username>";
  
  Replace <schema> and <view_name> with the appropriate schema and view name, and <username> with the user's name.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  Ensure that the user is assigned to a role that has the required privileges. You can check the roles assigned to the user and modify them if necessary.
  
  
  
  Check Object Ownership:
  
  If the view is owned by a different user, ensure that the current user has the necessary access rights to that schema or object.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
