The message indicates that the user does not have the necessary authorizations to access a specific global single role.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when a user attempts to perform an action that requires specific authorizations that are not granted to their user profile. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Authorizations: The user does not have the required roles or authorizations assigned to their user profile.
  Role Configuration Issues: The global single role may not be properly configured or assigned to the user.
  Changes in Role Definitions: If roles have been modified or if there have been changes in the authorization objects associated with those roles, users may lose access.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH417 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Ensure that the role includes all necessary authorization objects.
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  If the role is not configured correctly, you may need to edit the role in transaction PFCG.
  Ensure that the role has the correct authorization objects and values.
  
  
  
  Authorization Trace:
