  The SAP error message APS_CCV_AUTH003 indicates that a user does not have the necessary authorization to delete Custom Core Data Services (CDS) Views in the SAP system. This error typically arises in environments where strict authorization checks are enforced, particularly in SAP S/4HANA or SAP BW/4HANA systems.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by insufficient authorizations assigned to the user trying to delete the Custom CDS Views. The specific authorization object that is usually involved in this scenario is S_CDS_AUTH, which controls access to CDS views and their management.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the user has the appropriate authorizations to delete Custom CDS Views. Here are the steps to do this:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:
  
  Use transaction code SU53 immediately after the error occurs to check the authorization failure details. This will show which specific authorization is missing.
  
  
  
  Assign Required Authorizations:
  
  If the user lacks the necessary authorizations, you will need to assign the appropriate roles or authorizations. This can be done by:
  
  Using transaction code PFCG to modify roles.
  Adding the necessary authorization objects, particularly S_CDS_AUTH, with the appropriate activity (e.g., 03 for delete).
  
  
  
  
  
  Role Maintenance:
  
  If you are a security administrator, you can create or modify a role that includes the necessary authorizations for managing Custom CDS Views. Ensure that the role is then assigned to the user.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After updating the authorizations, have the user log out and log back in to ensure that the new authorizations take effect. Then, attempt to delete the Custom CDS View again.
