• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE098 - Privileged access for associations not allowed ?

  The SAP error message SADL_EXPOSURE098 indicates that there is an issue with privileged access for associations in the context of the SAP ABAP programming model, particularly when using the SAP Data Access Layer (SADL). This error typically arises when there is an attempt to access or expose associations that require privileged access, which is not permitted in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  Association Access Control: The error is triggered when an association in a data model is defined in such a way that it requires special permissions or roles to access it, and the current user or context does not have those permissions.
  Model Configuration: The data model may be incorrectly configured, leading to attempts to access associations that are not allowed for the current user.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the operation may lack the necessary authorizations to access the associated data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the associations in question. This may involve reviewing the roles and permissions assigned to the user in the SAP system.
  Review Data Model Configuration: Examine the data model configuration to ensure that associations are correctly defined and that they do not require privileged access unless absolutely necessary.
  Adjust Association Exposure: If the association does not need to be privileged, consider adjusting its exposure settings in the data model to allow broader access.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for SADL and the specific data model you are working with to understand the requirements and constraints related to associations.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the application to trace the exact point of failure and gather more context about the error.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for managing associations in SADL.
