Under Windows, you might receive the following error message when you use SAS/ACCESS Interface to DB2 to connect to a DB2 database:

The error occurs in the DB2 client when users attempt to execute a command or operation without having the proper authority.

To resolve this permission problem, administrators should make sure that users have both Read and Execute access to all DB2 objects through the operating system. You can set those permissions, as follows:

1. Select Start ► Settings ► Control Panel ► Administrative Tools ► Computer Management.
2. In the Computer Management window, select System Tools ► Local Users and Groups ► Groups.
3. Right-click DB2USERS and select Properties from the menu.
4. In the Properties dialog box, click Add.
5. Enter the user ID. Then click Check Names.
6. Click OK.
7. Click Apply.
