• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH167 - Revoking SQL privilege SELECT on &1 from &2... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH167 typically indicates that there is an issue with the SQL privileges related to the HANA database. Specifically, it suggests that the system is attempting to revoke the SELECT privilege on a specific object (table, view, etc.) from a user or role, but it is encountering a problem.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Privileges: The user or role attempting to revoke the SELECT privilege may not have the necessary permissions to perform this action.
  Object Not Found: The object from which the privilege is being revoked may not exist or may have been deleted.
  Dependency Issues: There may be dependencies on the object that prevent the revocation of privileges.
  Database State: The database might be in a state that does not allow changes to privileges, such as being in a read-only mode.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Privileges: Ensure that the user or role attempting to revoke the privilege has the necessary permissions to do so. You may need to grant the user the appropriate privileges.
  Verify Object Existence: Confirm that the object (table, view, etc.) from which the privilege is being revoked actually exists in the database.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies that might be preventing the revocation of the privilege. This could include other roles or users that depend on the privileges being revoked.
