3664213 - "No authorization to view data" error in Eclipse while using Data Preview functionality on a customizing client

Symptom

Error message: "No authorization to view data" encountered when attempting to preview data in Eclipse using the Data Preview functionality. The issue occurs despite the user being assigned the following authorizations: 

  • SAP_BR_DEVELOPER
  • SAP_A4C_BC_DEV_DAT_PRV_PC
  • SAP_A4C_BC_DAT_PRV_DFT_PC
  • SAP_A4C_BC_DAT_PRV_RDO_PC
  • SAP_A4C_BC_DEV_UT_RUN_PC
  • BR_APPL_SUP_ENG_DEV_SUP

Authorization trace indicates missing authorization for restriction/object ID S_TABU_NAM.

Environment

  • ABAP Development Tools in Eclipse

Reproducing the Issue

  1. Open Eclipse and on its workplace click with the right mouse button.
  2. Select "Open With" 
  3. Click on "Data Preview"
  4. No authorization error pops up 

Cause

  • The error occurs because the Data Preview functionality relies on the VIEW_AUTHORITY_CHECK function module, which evaluates the S_TABU_NAM/S_TABU_DIS authorizations. If these checks fail, the system verifies the broader S_DEVELOP authorization.
  • The object being accessed does not meet the criteria for data preview, as it is not an SAP-released view/table or the user's own view/table in a software component.

Resolution

As you have a Service Binding in the Development tenant. Whenever you create a new CDS please also Publish/Unpublish a Service Binding. This unrelated activity should ensure that the CDS is accessible in the customizing tenant.
