• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH414 - Maintained user is equal to technical BW user (SAP) ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH414 indicates that there is an issue with the authorization of a user in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) and its connection to SAP HANA. Specifically, the error states that the "maintained user is equal to technical BW user (SAP)". This typically occurs when the system is trying to authenticate a user that is set up as a technical user, which is not allowed for certain operations.
  Cause:
  
  Technical User Conflict: The error arises when a technical user (like SAP, where  is the system ID) is being used in a context where a regular user is expected. Technical users are often used for background jobs or system processes and are not meant for interactive user sessions.
  Authorization Issues: The user being maintained may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the required actions, or the system is misconfigured to use a technical user instead of a regular user.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the user being maintained is not a technical user. You can check this in the user management transaction (SU01).
  If the user is indeed a technical user, you will need to create or use a different user that is intended for interactive use.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorization Settings:
  
  Review the authorizations assigned to the user. Make sure that the user has the necessary roles and authorizations to access the required BW and HANA objects.
  You may need to assign specific roles that allow access to the BW data sources or HANA views.
  
  
  
  Use a Different User:
  
  If the process requires a non-technical user, create a new user account that is not a technical user and assign the necessary roles and authorizations to that user.
  
  
  
  Check Connection Settings:
  
  If this error occurs during a data transfer or connection setup, check the connection settings in the relevant configuration (like the BW connection to HANA) to ensure that the correct user is being used.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to this error for any specific recommendations or patches that may address the issue.
