This error indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the action they are attempting.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The most common cause of this error is that the user lacks the required authorizations to access the data or execute the query in SAP BW or SAP HANA.
  Role Assignment Issues: The user may not have the appropriate roles assigned that include the necessary authorizations for the specific action.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review Query Properties:
  
  Check the properties of the query in the Query Designer to ensure that it is set up correctly and that there are no restrictions that would prevent the user from executing it.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not able to resolve the issue, consult with your SAP security team or basis team to review the authorization setup and make necessary adjustments.
