  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AUTH_WIZ013 - Error deleting role & ?

    The SAP error message AUTH_WIZ013 typically occurs when there is an issue with authorizations while trying to delete a role in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, including insufficient authorizations for the user attempting to delete the role, or the role being assigned to users or other objects that prevent its deletion.

    Cause:

    1. Insufficient Authorizations: The user does not have the necessary authorizations to delete the role.
    2. Role Assignment: The role may be assigned to users, profiles, or other roles, which can prevent its deletion.
    3. Dependencies: There may be dependencies or references to the role in other objects or configurations within the SAP system.
    4. Transport Requests: If the role is part of a transport request that is still in process, it may not be deletable.

    Solution:

    1. Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to delete roles. The user should have the S_USER_AUTH authorization object with the appropriate activity (e.g., 02 for delete).
    2. Unassign Role: Before deleting the role, check if it is assigned to any users or profiles. If it is, unassign it from those users or profiles.
      • Use transaction code SU01 to check user assignments.
      • Use transaction code PFCG to manage roles and check assignments.
    3. Check Dependencies: Investigate if there are any dependencies or references to the role in other configurations. This may involve checking for derived roles or other linked objects.
    4. Transport Requests: If the role is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is completed or released before attempting to delete the role.
    5. Use Transaction PFCG: Go to transaction PFCG, enter the role name, and check the role details. If there are any issues, they may be indicated here.
    6. System Logs: Check system logs for any additional error messages or information that may provide more context about the issue.
