  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check which authorization checks failed. This will provide insight into what specific authorizations are missing.

  Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to delete custom hints.
  
  
  
  Consult with Security Team:
  
  If you do not have the necessary permissions to modify roles, contact your SAP security team or administrator. Provide them with the details of the error and the results from SU53 to assist in troubleshooting.
