• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SD_CDS_PROJECTION004 - Annotation AccessControl.authorizationCheck missing in projection view &1 ?

  The SAP error message SD_CDS_PROJECTION004 indicates that there is a missing authorization check in a projection view. This error typically arises when you are trying to access a Core Data Services (CDS) view that is expected to have an authorization check defined, but it is not present.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Authorization Check: The projection view does not have the required AccessControl.authorizationCheck annotation defined. This annotation is necessary to enforce authorization checks on the data being accessed through the CDS view.
  Incorrect Configuration: The CDS view might not be properly configured to include the necessary authorization checks, which can lead to security issues if not addressed.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from one system to another, the authorization checks might not have been included or properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Add Authorization Check: You need to modify the CDS view to include the AccessControl.authorizationCheck annotation. This can be done by editing the CDS view definition in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or in the ABAP editor (SE11 or SE80).
  
  Example of adding the annotation:
  @AccessControl.authorizationCheck: #CHECK
  define view <Your_CDS_View_Name> as select from <Your_Table>
  {
      ...
  }
  
  
  
  Check Authorization Objects: Ensure that the relevant authorization objects are defined and that users have the necessary authorizations to access the data.
  Transport and Activation: If the CDS view was transported, ensure that all related objects, including authorization checks, are properly transported and activated in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to CDS views and authorization checks for any specific guidelines or best practices.
  
  Related Information:
