  Solution:
  
  
  Check User Authorizations:

  Review the authorization objects related to the authorization group of the object you are trying to delete.
  
  
  
  Modify User Roles:

  If you do not have the necessary permissions, contact your SAP security administrator or the person responsible for user roles in your organization to request the necessary access.
  
  
  
  Authorization Group Assignment:
  
  If applicable, check if the object can be reassigned to a different authorization group that allows broader access, but this should be done with caution and in accordance with your organization's security policies.
