How To Fix RS2HANA_AUTH444 - Executing user &1 cannot be used for authorization replication

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RS2HANA_AUTH -

• Message number: 444

• Message text: Executing user &1 cannot be used for authorization replication

What causes this issue?

The BW analysis authorization is replicated using BW background user
&V1&. This user cannot be used to replicate the analysis authorization
because s/he does not have important authorizations required to
replicate analysis authorizations to SAP HANA.

System Response

The authorizations cannot be replicated with user &V1&.

How to fix this error?

User &V1& does not have authorization object S_USER_GRP with activity 03
(Display), which is required to replicate the authorizations correctly.
You can either:
Use a different user to replicate the authorizations to SAP HANA
(recommended).
Assign missing authorization object S_USER_GRP with activity 03
(Display) to user &V1&.
If you are replicating the authorizations using a process chain, proceed
as follows to change the executing user:
Call transaction RSPC and open the process chain in edit mode.
From the menu bar, choose Process Chain -> Attributes -> Executing User
and change the user accordingly.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH444 - Executing user &1 cannot be used for authorization replication ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH444 indicates that the executing user cannot be used for authorization replication. This typically occurs in the context of SAP BW (Business Warehouse) systems that are integrating with SAP HANA, particularly when trying to replicate authorizations from BW to HANA.
  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including:
  
  
  User Permissions: The executing user does not have the necessary permissions to perform authorization replication. This could be due to missing roles or authorizations in the SAP BW system.
  
  
  User Type: The user being used for the replication process may not be a valid user for this operation. For example, it might be a dialog user instead of a service user.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the BW system or the HANA system that prevent the authorization replication from being executed properly.
  
  
  Missing or Incorrect Settings: The settings for the authorization replication process may not be correctly configured in the BW system.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH444 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that the executing user has the necessary authorizations to perform the replication. This typically includes roles related to data administration and authorization management.
  You can check the user’s roles and authorizations in transaction SU01.
  
  
  
  Use a Service User:
  
  If the executing user is a dialog user, consider using a service user that has the appropriate authorizations for the replication process.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration settings for the authorization replication in the BW system. Ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  You can review the settings in transaction RSCONN01 (for connection settings) and transaction RS2HANA (for HANA-specific settings).
  
  
  
  Check Logs:
  
  Review the system logs and the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation for authorization replication to ensure that all prerequisites and configurations are met.
