• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH169 - &1 is not assigned to &2 ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH169 typically indicates an authorization issue related to the SAP HANA database. The message format usually looks like this: "&1 is not assigned to &2", where &1 represents a user or role, and &2 represents a specific authorization object or role that is required for the operation being attempted.
  Cause:
  The error generally occurs due to one of the following reasons:
  
  Missing Authorization: The user does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to access the required HANA objects or perform specific actions.
  Role Assignment: The user role that is supposed to provide the necessary permissions is not correctly assigned to the user.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the authorization roles or profiles in the SAP system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH169 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) and enter the user ID that is encountering the error.
  Check the roles assigned to the user and ensure that the necessary roles for HANA access are included.
  
  
  
  Review Role Assignments:
  
  Use transaction PFCG (Role Maintenance) to review the roles that are supposed to provide access to HANA.
  Ensure that the roles are correctly configured and include the necessary authorizations for the actions the user is trying to perform.
  
  
  
  Assign Missing Roles:
  
  If the required role is not assigned, you can assign it to the user in SU01 or through a mass role assignment if needed.
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects:
  
  Verify that the authorization objects required for the operation are included in the roles assigned to the user.
  You may need to adjust the role to include the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect.
  Test the operation again to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to HANA authorizations for more specific guidance on the roles and authorizations needed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Authorization Concept: Familiarize yourself with the SAP authorization concept, especially in relation to HANA, to better understand how roles and authorizations are structured.
