Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 68347 - You are not authorized to delete a file or document. ?

  The SAP error message 68347, which states "You are not authorized to delete a file or document," typically indicates that the user does not have the necessary permissions to perform the delete operation on a specific file or document within the SAP system. This can occur in various contexts, such as when dealing with documents in SAP Document Management System (DMS) or when managing files in the SAP application.
  Cause:
  
  Insufficient Authorizations: The user’s role or profile does not include the necessary authorizations to delete files or documents.
  Document Status: The document may be in a status that does not allow deletion (e.g., locked, archived, or in use).
  Configuration Settings: System settings or configurations may restrict deletion actions for certain document types or users.
  Object Locking: The document or file may be locked by another user or process, preventing deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Review the user’s roles and authorizations in the SAP system. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete documents or files.
  Use transaction code SU53 to check for authorization failures after attempting the delete operation.
  
  
  
  Adjust Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, a system administrator or security officer should adjust the user’s roles or profiles to include the required permissions (e.g., S_DATASET for file operations).
  
  
  
  Document Status Review:
  
  Check the status of the document. If it is locked or in a non-deletable state, you may need to change its status or unlock it before attempting deletion.
  
  
  
  Consult Configuration Settings:
  
  Review any configuration settings related to document management or file handling that may restrict deletion actions.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction code SM12 to check for locks on the document or file. If another user has locked it, you may need to wait until the lock is released.
  
  
  
  Contact Support:
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting SAP documentation for further assistance.
