• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH289 - Revoking SQL privilege SELECT on &1 from role &2... ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH289 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization related to SQL privileges in the context of SAP HANA. Specifically, it refers to the revocation of the SQL privilege SELECT on a specific object (denoted by &1) from a role (denoted by &2). This typically occurs when there are changes in the authorization settings or when a user or role is trying to access a database object without the necessary permissions.
  Cause
  The error can be caused by several factors:
  
  Role Changes: The role associated with the user may have been modified, leading to the revocation of the SELECT privilege on the specified object.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the required authorizations to access the object, or the role may not be properly assigned to the user.
  Database Object Changes: The underlying database object (like a table or view) may have been altered, leading to changes in the privileges associated with it.
  Transport Issues: If the role was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies in the authorization settings.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH289 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Role Assignments:
  
  Verify that the user has the correct role assigned that includes the necessary privileges for the object in question.
  
  
  
  Review Role Privileges:
  
  Go to the SAP HANA Studio or use transaction PFCG to check the role definition. Ensure that the SELECT privilege is granted for the object &1.
  
  
  
  Grant Missing Privileges:
  
  If the SELECT privilege is missing, you can add it back to the role. This can be done in the role maintenance transaction (PFCG):
  
  Open the role in question.
  Navigate to the "Authorizations" tab.
  Adjust the privileges to include the necessary SELECT permission for the object.
  
  
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Issues:
  
  If the role was recently transported, ensure that all necessary authorizations were included in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes:
  
  After making the necessary adjustments, test the access again to ensure that the user can now perform the required actions without encountering the error.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or support for further troubleshooting steps specific to your version of SAP HANA.
