• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 26246 - No authorization to delete object link & & & & ?

  The SAP error message 26246, "No authorization to delete object link," typically occurs when a user attempts to delete an object link (such as a document, record, or other entity) in the SAP system but lacks the necessary authorizations to perform that action. This error is often related to authorization issues within the SAP security framework.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the required authorization object or permissions to delete the specific object link.
  Role Configuration: The user's assigned roles may not include the necessary permissions for deletion actions.
  Object-Specific Restrictions: Certain objects may have specific restrictions or settings that prevent deletion, regardless of user permissions.
  Custom Authorization Checks: Custom developments or enhancements may impose additional authorization checks that the user does not meet.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to analyze the authorization check that failed. This will show which authorization object is missing.
  Review the user's roles and profiles in transaction SU01 (User Maintenance) or PFCG (Role Maintenance) to ensure they have the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  Modify Roles:
  
  If the user lacks the required authorizations, a security administrator should modify the user's roles or create a new role that includes the necessary authorization objects for deletion.
  Common authorization objects related to deletion include S_DATA, S_TCODE, and specific objects related to the module in use (e.g., S_BC_DELE for deletion in certain contexts).
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you are not authorized to make changes, contact your SAP security team or administrator to request the necessary authorizations.
  
  
  
  Review Object-Specific Settings:
  
  Check if there are any specific settings or configurations that prevent deletion of the object in question. This may involve reviewing the object’s status or related settings in the application.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After adjustments are made, test the deletion action again to ensure that the issue is resolved.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SU53: Display Authorization Check
  SU01: User Maintenance
  PFCG: Role Maintenance
  
  
  Authorization Objects: Familiarize yourself with the relevant authorization objects that pertain to the specific module or action you are working with.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for detailed information on authorization management and troubleshooting.
  
  If the issue persists after checking authorizations and roles, further investigation may be required, potentially involving SAP support or consulting services.
