  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH262 indicates that a user does not have the necessary SQL privilege to perform a SELECT operation on a specific view in the SAP HANA database. This error typically arises when a user attempts to access a view for which they lack the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Missing Privileges: The user does not have the SELECT privilege on the specified view.
  Role Assignment: The role that contains the necessary privileges has not been assigned to the user.
  View Ownership: The view may be owned by a different schema, and the user does not have access to that schema.
  Database Security Policies: There may be security policies in place that restrict access to certain views.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH262 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Privileges:
  
  Log in to the SAP HANA database with a user that has administrative privileges.

  SELECT * FROM "SYS"."GRANTED_PRIVILEGES" WHERE "GRANTEE" = '<user_name>';
  
  
  
  
  Grant SELECT Privilege:
  
  If the user does not have the SELECT privilege on the view, you can grant it using the following SQL command:
  GRANT SELECT ON "<schema_name>"."<view_name>" TO "<user_name>";
  
  Replace <schema_name>, <view_name>, and <user_name> with the appropriate values.
  
  
  
  Role Assignment:
  
  If the SELECT privilege is part of a role, ensure that the role is assigned to the user:
  GRANT "<role_name>" TO "<user_name>";
  
  
  
  
  Check Schema Access:
  
  Ensure that the user has access to the schema where the view is located. You may need to grant the necessary privileges on the schema as well.
  
  
  
  Review Security Policies:
  
  If there are any security policies in place, review them to ensure they are not preventing access to the view.
