• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH279 - Assigning SQL privilege EXECUTE on procedure &1 to user &2... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH279 typically indicates that there is an issue with the authorization for a user trying to execute a specific SQL procedure in an SAP HANA database. This error occurs when the user does not have the necessary privileges to execute the specified procedure.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the lack of the EXECUTE privilege on the specified SQL procedure for the user mentioned in the error message. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  The user has not been granted the necessary privileges.
  The procedure is owned by a different schema, and the user does not have access to that schema.
  The user role does not include the required permissions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to grant the necessary privileges to the user. Here are the steps to do that:
  
  
  Identify the Procedure and User: Take note of the procedure (&1) and the user (&2) mentioned in the error message.
  
  
  Log in to SAP HANA: Use a user account that has sufficient privileges to grant permissions (usually a user with administrative rights).
  
  
  Grant EXECUTE Privilege: Execute the following SQL command to grant the EXECUTE privilege on the procedure to the user:
  GRANT EXECUTE ON PROCEDURE <schema_name>.<procedure_name> TO <user_name>;
  Replace <schema_name>, <procedure_name>, and <user_name> with the actual schema, procedure, and user names.
  
  
  Verify the Grant: You can verify that the privilege has been granted by querying the USER_PRIVILEGES or ROLE_PRIVILEGES views.
  
  
  Test the Execution: After granting the privilege, have the user attempt to execute the procedure again to confirm that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Roles and Privileges: In SAP HANA, privileges are managed through roles. It is a good practice to create roles that encapsulate the necessary privileges and assign these roles to users rather than granting privileges directly to users.
  Documentation: Refer to the SAP HANA documentation for more details on managing privileges and roles.
  Audit and Security: Regularly audit user privileges to ensure that users have the appropriate access levels and to maintain security compliance.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH279 error and allow the user to execute the specified procedure successfully.
