  The SAP error message RS2HANA_AUTH474 indicates that the user role you are trying to use does not have the necessary authorizations to create SAP HANA analytic privileges. This error typically arises when a user attempts to create or manage analytic privileges in SAP HANA but lacks the required permissions.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the user role does not have the necessary authorizations assigned to it. Specifically, the user must have the following:
  
  SAP HANA Authorization: The user must have the appropriate privileges in the SAP HANA database to create analytic privileges. This includes the CREATE ANALYTIC PRIVILEGES privilege.
  Role Assignment: The user must be assigned to a role that has the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RS2HANA_AUTH474 error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Role: Verify the role assigned to the user who is trying to create the analytic privileges. Ensure that the role has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  Assign Required Privileges:
  
  Log in to the SAP HANA system with a user that has administrative privileges.
  Navigate to the SAP HANA Studio or SAP HANA Cockpit.
  Go to the Security section and check the roles assigned to the user.
  If the role does not have the CREATE ANALYTIC PRIVILEGES privilege, you will need to add it.
  
  
  
  Create or Modify Role:
  
  If you need to create a new role or modify an existing one, you can do so in the SAP HANA Studio:
  
  Right-click on the role and select Edit.
  Add the necessary privileges, including CREATE ANALYTIC PRIVILEGES.
  
  
  Save the changes and ensure the user is assigned to this role.
  
  
  
  Test the Changes: After making the changes, have the user log out and log back in to ensure the new authorizations take effect. Then, try to create the analytic privileges again.
  
  
  Related Information:
