Package privileges are used to allow access to and the ability to work in packages in the repository of the SAP HANA database. In a multiple-container system, analytic privileges granted to users in a particular database authorize access to information models in that database only.

Analytic privileges are evaluated during query processing. Depending on the object type, different actions can be authorized (for example, SELECT, CREATE ANY, ALTER, DROP, and so on).Īnalytic privileges are used to allow read access to data in SAP HANA information models (that is, analytic views, attribute views, and calculation views) depending on certain values or combinations of values. Object privileges are used to allow access to and modification of database objects, such as tables and views. They are mainly used for administrative purposes, such as creating schemas, creating and changing users and roles, performing data backups, managing licenses, and so on.

System privileges control general system activities.
