• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW032 - No authorization to use the external SAP HANA view for BW object API ?

  The SAP error message RS2HANA_VIEW032 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to access an external SAP HANA view that is being used for a BW (Business Warehouse) object API. This error typically arises in scenarios where BW is integrated with SAP HANA, and the user is trying to access data through HANA views.
  Cause
  The primary cause of this error is a lack of proper authorizations assigned to the user for accessing the specific HANA view. This can happen due to:
  
  Missing Roles: The user does not have the required roles that grant access to the HANA views.
  Authorization Objects: The necessary authorization objects related to HANA views are not included in the user's profile.
  HANA View Restrictions: The HANA view itself may have restrictions that prevent certain users from accessing it.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the RS2HANA_VIEW032 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the missing authorizations.
  Review the authorization logs to identify which specific authorizations are lacking.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Roles:
  
  Ensure that the user has the appropriate roles assigned that include access to the HANA views. This may involve working with your SAP security team to assign the correct roles.
  
  
  
  Review Authorization Objects:
  
  Check the relevant authorization objects (e.g., S_HANA_ADMIN, S_HANA_VIEW) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the HANA views.
  
  
  
  Consult HANA Security:
  
  If the HANA views are restricted at the HANA database level, you may need to consult with your HANA database administrator to ensure that the user has the necessary privileges to access the views.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the access again to ensure that the error is resolved.
