SAP S/4HANA Error 393: Invalid Role Privilege Grant
Description
This error occurs when an attempt is made to grant a database privilege to a role using the 'WITH GRANT OPTION' clause. In SAP HANA, roles are designed to aggregate privileges but cannot propagate them further, meaning they cannot grant privileges to other users or roles. This restriction is a core security mechanism to prevent unintended privilege escalation.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_NO_GRANT_OPTION_FOR_ROLE
Known Causes
3 known causesIncorrect SQL Grant Statement
An administrator or script attempted to grant a privilege to a database role with the 'WITH GRANT OPTION', which is explicitly prohibited for roles in SAP HANA.
Misunderstanding of HANA Security Model
The user or system administrator has an incorrect understanding of SAP HANA's security architecture, where roles are recipients of privileges, not grantors.
Automated Script Malfunction
An automated provisioning script, migration tool, or third-party application inadvertently included the 'WITH GRANT OPTION' when assigning privileges to a role.
